You wish your financial situation was so bad you couldn't afford to go to college without a hand-out?

No it isnt, but those awaiting grant cheques are obviously really in need of financial assistance to get them through college!

I'm still waiting too, and the 18% interest on my credit card, which I used to pay the first half of my fees, isn't getting any smaller...

i dont know about that, when i was in college I had a good part time job from which i got a plenty of money to buy books etc, transport to college and a couple of nights out a week with a bit left over and i also got the maintenance grants think is totalled €3,045 per year, i used to just keep that for summer holidays, after 1st year i went to Vancouver for the summer, the next year spent a month travelling Europe and then the summer after I went to Chicago,Oh and there was one cheque i got in January of '08 i think when I went to Ucd, picked up the cheque, went to the bank, cashed it, went to gamestop and bought a ps3

Hand-outs are charity; the grant is a legally guaranteed social support.

You could have not worked, used that time to study and used your grants for rent, books etc. Or is that a crazy idea? :pac:

Point?

I'm just saying anyone who needs the grant gets it, if they don't get it then obviously they have enough income

I know you're messing, but in my scenario there was no job, which should mean more time for normal college related fun!

True - but if you can manage college, job and fun then why not?

The grant is charity also, it's just state charity (which is based on the theft of the private wealth of citizens).

Wow. Who needs to spread the wealth when a small few can keep it all, eh?
