that's so true, both about the prejudices and the automatic assumption that if you don't need aid, you're obviously wealthy. i can attest to the fact that this is not the case, i just happen to fall into the gap of being just ok enough that my parents can afford this and my brother's education, but not so well-off that it's not an issue...the assumptions go both ways, i guess.
