I'm loving it so far! Kind of found my home in the Pokemon Gaming Central section. I feel very comfortable there more so than anywhere else.
I don't get it either. But supposedly depending on your parents income, they apparently think that they will give you a little bit of money, and somehow your parents will pay for the rest. Idk, it's like they think we're rich as all get out. My mom doesn't earn a lot. It's decent for the both of us, of course, more than enough. Or at least it would be if we didn't have bad health. I'm naturally really thin, but because of how naturally thin I am I have to constantly take medicine to keep myself healthy, along with asthma, which together are pricey, and my mom has diabetes and some other skin conditions, so to keep those in check is an extra few hundred. The government even looks at medical records. Apparently I'd have to pretty much be dying in order to even get over 2k in loans with my mother's income, if I wanted to go to a school.
The system is absolutely confusing.
