I'm going to be a sophomore in the fall of '08 and I am becoming a little concerned about college. I'm not going to go into any details with what I do or anything about grades. I'm just curious as to how financial aid works. Do you just apply and get the aid throughout college and pay it back later on? If you aren't in a well-to-do position, do your parents have to contribute to paying the tuition and etc? I've heard that if your parents do not make more than 45-50 grand per year, they aren't expected to help pay off the debt. Please leave as many details as possible: websites, ideas, info, the works. Thank you.
