Bastard. I made a mistake on my app and wound up getting screwed.
lol, what kind of mistake? You're suppose to fill it out so that it looks like you're financially strapped and really need the money.

They background check it though right? I filled out mine honestly and didn't get shit.

Don't fucking tell me you can lie on those and get free money since they don't check it out.

They do. For the most part its about how much your parents/the one who pays the bills where you live makes. And that is verified through tax papers. The application is just a small(but necessary) step in the whole process.

I'm just rich enough to not get FAFSA but I'm not rich enough to get spoiled on new cars, electronics, etc.

Protesting a Bachelor/Master system? Can't see the problem. Protesting against tuition fees OTOH..

The uni I attended has a Bachelor/Master/Doctorate system (with some extras), has done for years - nobody bats an eyelid. If you want a better degree or more chance of a job upon graduating, you work harder, its that simple. I got my Bsc (3 year degree), and buggered off after that. Had enough, plus 1 year's experience in IT is more valuable than an extra years study at that level.

Same here.. for like.. ever? My dad has a Bachelor of Engineering (Civil) from like 30 years ago...

Since it's too hot here to be bothered with doing anything (like going to wikipedia), wtf do they have in euroland?

Let's see...already payed the fees. Now "protesting". So...not getting return on the money already paid. Schools not having to expend resources.

Sounds like the schools are coming out ahead and the students are screwing themselves.

Probably shouldn't have gone on strike during ECON 101.

I bet that lack of goods and services those students aren't providing is going to hit Europe right where it hur...oh wait.

I haven't heard of any protest. So "Students on strike in Europe" is far from exact information. It's like saying that the Mediterranan has suffered an ecological disaster when an Italian fisherman throws that set of plastic rings of a sixpack in the water.

I find it ironic that there is a misspelling and improper punctuation in that note. Probably not an English major, I'm guessing.

Fortunately, 99% of the people reading that fb message won't care about minor errors such as those.

They're probably on strike in their Engrish crasses.

Instead of speculating, how about we all ignore the thread until the OP decides to show back up and explain himself?

Does it come with a minor in the proper way to kidnap your boss?
