[QUOTE="buddy, post: 479407, member: 12886"] ugh, so sorry. I can see a well meaning, ignorant person doing that, but they should be running things like that by you so you can give them the low down. They SHOULD know better in the first place, but it seems we have to remind people, in every single situation, over and over, and it is endless. right, how DO they think she is going to live??? On financial assistance??? At this point does she even have the skills to keep a part time job they say she might need??? Lets get down to the basics here, sigh. Yup, a good start would be to get those grades up a little..... She should have been told that colleges are businesses, and of course they are going to say it is easy and she can do it and also to try to convince her to sign up so if she does get any aide, they will have a new student to get funds from. It is not a BAD thing, it is just what it is, they need the money to keep the college open so they recruit people with no realistic view of their personal lives.... The staff should have presented it as something to aim for but only under x, y, z circumstances...they should have known better. That said, did they know better? I mean maybe she just heard it all that way? Or just is presenting it to you that way so she can say, see....you are wrong. ?? I don't know, it just popped into my head after I wrote the beginning part of my post. in any event, sorry for yet another issue. [/QUOTE]
