I get my direct deposited each term, so it takes up to 14 days to process.

Only once (recently) they were late processing it, but it was because we put the wrong info on the app and had to resubmit it.

omg I was LITERALLY crying this week 'cause my check didn't get processed and I have bills next week. I'm like how the hellll am I gonna survive

Sis how was it receiving your first one? I never knew of this until this one YouTube video and I was shocked but happy. I am waiting for my money though and I feel like they're around with it, I don't have time for this

mine is sent to my bank account
most of it is used for rent tho

Mine is sent directly to my checking account a couple days before the semester starts! It's great.

I am so excited for mine. I feel like I will spend it on stuff that's not "important" but I want to get this shopping all out of my system and then save the rest for more needs later ;-;

I'm not from the US, is it like a student loan?

Yup, it's like what's left over after the loan is applied to your account for tuition, etc.

No in here we have to sign up for certain government programs that give you free money for a certain amount of semesters, 12 semesters for me, that they give you money which you don't have to pay back. I sign up for FAFSA which gives me 5,500 each year according to my family's income which I believe is the most you can receive from FAFSA. And HEESA which is for NJ students who go to college in NJ only gives me 1,020 each semester which is determine by how expensive your tuition is and your family's income. The money I don't use I get back in a check

Oh you got yours from loans?

I payed off my debts when I got mine I was going to buy a iPad with it. I'm glad I didn't that was the smartest thing I done in my life. I'm like the only one in my family with good credit now . My parents have everything in my name. Chile I'm such a hood rat surprised I don't have any bullet wounds to go with my stretch marks.

I'm getting some more next week

I just bought myself my birthday gift with some I have rn. Tokyo Ghoul Volume 2 Blu-Ray Edition for $73

refund checks are bullcrap

Thanks for reminding me because I honestly forgot all about my Financial aid and stuff. I don't know if I applied for pell and I don't know if my TAP went through or not. Hope I'm not ****ed with some ridiculous bill.

What in the hell at you all getting it now?? Mine came before the semester started lol

Instead of giving refund checks to people why don't they give that money to the students who barely qualify for financial aid LIKE ME

It makes me so mad
