This school is already driving me NUTS!

So, I start grad school on Monday.  Which I am VERY excited about, however, here is my problem- I HAVE NO FUNDING.  I have no money, I am jobless, I am broke, and their financial aid office has not gotten me the paperwork I need to tell me what funding I am elligible for.  I need to figure out loans, or I will not be able to pay for, oh, ANYTHING.  Including my rent.  This is absurd.  It also looks like the maximum I’m "allowed" to borrow for school is FAR LESS than it costs to actually GO to the school and pay living expences.  The remainder of whats left after tuition wouldn’t even cover my rent!  This is just rediculous.  I’m trying to figure out how on earth I’ll be able to pay my rent never mind the rent of my bills this month since it’s looking like my tuition is entirely going to be on my credit card for a while.  NOT COOL.

I’ve been given NO INFORMATION on financial aid, or when I have to pay by, or ANYTHING else I have to do (immunization records for the health center?  anything?) The only info I have is when and where orientation is, and that I will register for classes then.  This is so uncool.  I see myself having to sit at the school for HOURS on monday and tuesday getting this all straightened out.

*mutters*  someone remind me why I’m bothering to go to grad school???
