College was a blast, except for that time I got arrested.
Freshman year does kind of suck. You don't know anybody, especially since you're apparently off campus. Even when you're a resident, freshmen are usually kept in seperate housing from upper classes, so you're in a building full of newly independent jerkwads.
Once I learned the myriad ways of the financial system, fees and books were not a problem. I checked out one textbook for a semester. Plus the school paid ME to do things like edit the paper, run the radio station, serve as a senator, waiter the scholly banquet.
Can you qualify as a work-student? It's easier to work at your school than Mickey D's.
