I must say, I feel incredibly abandoned by the American financial aid system. No better way to cheat a girl that to promise her financial aid only to inform her that that all changed while she is halfway around the world

I feel for you. Pitt Financial Aid seems to ignore students who study abroad and all you get is a bunch of trouble. I also had problems with them when I came back from Japan (they weren't going to give me any financial aid either). The reason they said was that I hadn't earned any credits the previous semester(even though by this time both Study Abroad and the Registar's office had my transcript from Kansai Gaidai). I suggest asking for a transcript from your first semester ASAP after finals are over and send it to stupid Financial Aid. This may solve your problem.
no, it is because i need aid for a 9th term at school, nevermind I wasnt slacking off in the other 8 terms. just one more term! rawr. it is so close that this makes me sooooo annoyed.
I think I'm going to start having financial aid troubles too soon. Since I'm going to Osaka for 6 months (Starting in May) for a JETRO internship. Which means only like 3 credits for that semester, plus it's going to be my 9th term...
well good luck with that! May pitt and federal financial aid be kind to you! coming in may you say? I will still be in Japan then, so come and see kyushu! :-D or else i will come see you. i wanna see osaka aquarium, osaka castle and osaka street food. and eat street food too. maybe i will have this worked out by then...
