This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

She has a 7.5k annual scholarship by Btd

But the remainder is still 40k per year. The real “scholarship” there is they accepted all the high school AP classes and effectively cut one full year out of the equation. That’s 40k less I have to spend there. ND level schools would not accept most of those AP classes - because you need a 5 not a 3 or 4 for ND and also in general they accept less because the average student also takes those classes.

It’s been a fight every day there though. Dorms with broken elevators. Dorms with no air conditioning, rooms with black mold all over the walls, etc. Freshman must buy a 7 day per week meal plan. Clemson closes the dining halls on weekends though. Imagine that. No freaking food on weekends - but you have to pay for it!

They go out of their way to prevent taking required classes on time. Anything and everything to try and force you into going longer to graduate. Constant fights to get into classes needed to graduate on time.
