[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 357720, member: 3493"] Tiapet - RA is "Resident assistant." She is one of the people whose function it is to try to help students integrate into and enjoy college and to keep an eye on their assigned students to make sure they are not doing drugs, falling into depression, etc., etc. RAs are who students go to in the first instance if they have roommate problems, issues with their room or the dorm itself, etc. I can't help you on the AP credits. I had a years worth but I lived at home and went to a local public college. My daughter was one of the few kids in her class to leave HS with NO college credits. My daughter had work study the first semester but then the amounts of her scholarships caused them to cancel it. She has lined up a job for next year at school that is not work study, she will earn minimum wage for 10 -12 hours a week working in a departmental office. It seems like your daughter is at a very expensive school. Mine is at a state university and will, hopefully, come out with little to no debt. If the AP issue does not preclude it, maybe your daughter could transfer to a cheaper school for one year to save money. You need a certain number of credits at a college to earn a degree from it, usually two years worth. Also, if the AP credits let her get out in 3 years, you will have saved a ton of money. As for my girl, if she had not been awarded a significant scholarship by a private organization, we would not have been able to send her away. I suggest that you contact the financial aid office and see if something can be done about the $1889. Otherwise, can she get a summer job or a job at school. My daughter is selling some of her books back to get money to buy next semesters. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
