<p>A few things:</p>
<p>Being on the staff of Rumpus (but not as a writer), as far as I can tell, you’re a part of Rumpus if you write an article for Rumpus.</p>
<p>Yes, L-Dub is the worst freshman dorm on campus, but it really depends on what you make of your room. Out of the three suites on my floor, mine is the smallest, yet everyone who comes by always comments on how nice and clean it is. Meanwhile, the other two suites are either covered in trash, covered in junk, or both.</p>
<p>Personally, I don’t think financial aid is that bad. If your family makes less than $45,000, your parents pay nothing. I do think the summer contribution and self help could be reduced a bit though, but when you’re talking about reducing self help and summer contribution by only one or two thousand, it doesn’t really compare to the overall $42,000 cost.</p>
