I will be attending UIC in the fall but I have no idea how they expect anyone to pay for school with the budget they've set out
Books and Supplies 1,380
Housing And Food Expenses 11,996
Transportation 1,600
Staford Loan Fees 170
Personal Expenses 2,400
so for the year they expect you to pay 1,000 a month for both FOOD AND RENT(including cable, internet, and utilities).
lets do some math
minus books they are going to give me $16,166 this year which is
$1,347/month
lets say by the grace of God I find an appartment for $900 a month including cable, utilities, and internet im down to $447 a month (I can barley find an apartment in chicago for a 1,000 a month without those added amenities.)
If i spend $300 a month on food which is really cutting it close im down to $147 a month or $1764 for the year to live on
Add this to the fact that i need to furnish the apartment, have to pay for plane tickets home, there are probably other school expenses that have not been listed, and they don't disperse the funds until September leaves me in a huge pickle
There's only one direct to student loan out there and my co-signer was declined
HELP!!!!!
