<p>I do not have any money to travel to Minot State, I still have to being my stuff and I do not even have much I am desperately looking for a job. If I get accepted at Minot or not. I have no idea how I am going to get to ND from Texas with no money. I may have to stay IS but I really would love the campus experience. As a community college student I couldn’t live on campus. UNT Dallas is a commuter school even though it is close by my mom’s house. Online bachelor degree would mean living another year with my mom even if I manage to get a full time job.</p>

<p>Marissa, you can give it a go at Minot State, if you can come up with the money to go there. It may depend on how much of your financial aid you’ve used this school year already. Have you taken out any loans for this fall? You may have to look for a job, save, and make this happen next year, if you can’t come up with some seed money for the trip and to get settled. You’ll have to buy books too. Maybe your parents can give you a bit of a hand. </p>
<p>IT would be quite an adventure and experience if you do this.</p>
<p>I think I really would enjoy this school. I saw Minot State’s virtual tour on YouTube and I really liked it. I looked up the weather, the city of Minot. I am originally from colorado and I love snow. Minot offers core distance education classes. So I can still go IF I get accepted. I still need math and one science left. I saw these courses offered as distance education online. Even if I go there for a year I feel it will be worth it. Realistically I don’t think I will be able to go unless I come across a miracle. I am willing to wait</p>
<p>I got $1000 grant from the state. Was only given $500 it is split into each semester $280 loan, this semester. Does the remaining $500 of my grant rollover?</p>
<p>Marissa, it would be something truly different to try. I know that job opportunities in SOUTH Dakota have been incredible, and I know people who have gone there to get work. This is North Dakota, but it puts you in the area. These are underpopulated states. </p>
<p>Financial aid is usually given for the school year, and then split into semesters. An exception is the Stafford Direct loan which one can get in full second semester if unused first semester. There is a 6 year limit on PELL so be careful you don’t just use half and have it counted as a year. I don’t know exactly how those rules work. </p>
<p>Be aware that even the most generous schools, like Harvard require a student contribution, so you almost always have to come up with seed money to get to the school and get started. Often you can find work on campus or around campus once you get there to offset some of the costs, but you can’t go there empty handed, and it’s very rare to get so much money that you get it upfront to go there. Almost never. In fact, any money for living expenses is usually not even released until after the Drop Dates, because schools do not want to have to chase down those who drop out or drop down to part time and then have to give back money. So, yes, you need something to get started pretty much to go anywhere even with a “full ride” in loans and grants and work study.</p>
<p>Yes, unfortunately students who drop out give regular students a bad name. I am not sure why people would go through all that trouble to apply just to not go</p>
<p>Minot State offers distance education classes. So if I get accepted I can still enroll without actually going in the spring. My parents are going to have a holiday I think they want me to stay in state. But since I still have not found a job yet I think that sounds like a plan</p>
