No I am not paying anything to meet my COA nor do I have to do work-study. Am I spoiled, not necessarily. Most of my financial aid comes from merit money that I earned from my performace in high school. This is money that all students, regardless of family situations, can attain. I used fastweb and searched for outside scholarships like all seniors should do. I didn’t want my parents to pay a dime for me to go to school, so I did what I knew was necessary to do so. The need based aid that I get from WU is to meet my demonstrated need. Because of WU’s financial aid policy, they won’t take money away from you until you hit your COA.

Now, does my situation happen to most students? No; however, it CAN happen to every student. Its nothing complicated, complie as many outside and merit scholarships as you can.

And BTW, I hate PCs so I wouldn’tve been able to do with a dell and I got the most expensive macbook pro because I do a lot of video and music editing.
