oh wow guys apparently my community college courses classes are around $833 $1666 per credit hour I hope post 9/11 covers it :ohdear:

Some dumb rear end letter someone wrote to the editor posted:

North Idaho College is so expensive. Classes come at a great price. It has been my unfortunate experience to have failed two classes this semester, something unheard of before for me. If we pay such a high price for these hybrid classes, online classes, North Idaho College must give us some sort of tutoring. I just spent $10,000 for two classes I failed, and even with support it was not enough.
The college scene has produced madness. The books alone are enough to break one’s account with the loan. I spent $400 on one class and $370 on one book. Something has to give here. Some people just need a bit more attention than others, and some of us are not good at not having the old school training, such as eye contact, and encouragement. Just venting, since I flunked the two most important courses in my paralegal field.
I think this educational system has to change. It was easier to get my bachelor’s degree than this technological one. I hope all people check it out first before going back to school, because when the loan runs out and you flunk like I did…God help us all!

I have just officially been accepted by University of San Diego. I'm so loving pumped right now. I'm really loving excited.

So for classes starting in the fall, when should I submit my 9/11 GI Bill thingy? I'm working on trying to get in touch with someone from VOCREHAB down there, but I'm not getting any luck.

fill out this for voc rehab, should let you put what school you intend to go to. Wait a few months for them to get back to you maybe.

I'm not sure exactly where at precisely because I cant remember my login info at the moment, but there should be a form in here to fill out for you gi bill

the VA site directs to ebenefits anyway. Everything is in there, hope you did that in your TAP poo poo.

do it now, VA is slow with VR.

GI Bill is nbd, do it sooner than later though. I'm starting in fall too and I did this all months ago. No reason to wait to last minute IMO.


Don't call VR, they'll call you. In the meantime, I'd try these guys from the Uni Of San Diego i found on their site

That should get you the veterans advisor guy who should be able to get you more accurate info with regards to their poo poo, and should be pretty familiar with dealing with VA stuff.

edit: NVM, just filled it out. Can't wait! Now I just need to figure out what grants I can get that don't pay everything to the school to help out with living expenses.

Thanks. Last question, definitely the 9/11 right? Not the GI Bill? I'm gonna be going full time and it's just until VOCREHAB starts kicking in. Whatever helps out the most in terms of money for living.

Don't forget to do your FAFSA, you will probably get denied grants your first year because you'll be going off your previous year's income from your taxes but you can file a loss of income appeal. After the first year you should automatically get shitloads of grant money as long as you don't actually like try to work or file for unemployment or something. I get $7,600/yr not including monthly BAH or book allowance just from 30 minutes of work. Sometimes I feel guilty about it because it's stupid amounts of free money while other kids get crushed by loans but you need to embrace the welfare queen lifestyle.

Whew do I feel stupid. I foolishly followed the advice of my academic adviser in selecting my final courses, and in doing so we seem to have overlooked an upper division credit requirement. I noticed this problem a few days before the end of my first summer semester and brought it up, and have since been told that I won't be graduating until I can get 3 more upper division credit hours added to my transcripts.

fortunately this won't effect the job I just landed but its still pretty disappointing :sad:
