How can i get money for transportation with my student loans?
Okay my estimate for my pell grant is: 5,500 and staford loan: 10500.
I'm signing up for summer 2 and i'm going to need transportation and a laptop.
How would I go about getting this? Who do i ask for the money? Like i have no idea what to do.
Answer
before you make plans based on your federal financial aid, you need to know & understand
1) that is annual, you only mention 1 semester/quarter
2) the annual amount is broken into semesters (usually Fall & Spring) or quarters (usually Fall, Winter, and Spring)
3) your summer semester might be at the end of 2012-2013 academic year, if it is & you did not go fall & spring, then the maximum you could use of 2012-2013 fin aid is 1/2
4) you only get the semester/quarter maximum pell grant if you are enrolled full-time & student loans if you are enrolled at least 6 credit hours..... so, if your summer is on the end of 2012-2013 & you did not use any fin aid for fall & spring... and you only go 6 credit hours, then you would get up to 50% of the annual loan amount & up to 25% of the annual pell grant amount
the aid will be applied to tuition & fees first, also books if you charge them to your fin aid... if there is any left over then you can use that for bus fare or gas money as well as school supplies
the vast majority of college students don't actually need a laptop & you can always use computers at the school's library & various computer labs
final note.... if your school has not processed your aid to the point of Financial Aid Award (this tells you exactly what your semester/quarter maximum is that you could get as a full-time student)..... then your aid might not be in place in time for you to start that semester/quarter -- it takes most community colleges at least 8 weeks to process & universities longer

What computer technologies should I expect in 2012?

I want to buy a new gaming laptop for collage.I have this year an 1+ from high school and I am going to go in 2011-2012 in collage. I want a top gaming laptop of 3500-5500$
Will there be a new CPU, Graphic card, Ram that will be much faster then ?
Answer
This is sort of a pointless question.
Of course there will be new CPU's, new GPU's, faster and higher capacity RAM and hard drives. They are in a constant state of change, and new additions to each of those categories come out at least once a year, so you're looking at at least 2 generations better than what we have now.
But you might want to rethink your strategy, as a super powerful gaming laptop is not very portable and it's battery life will suck. And as a college student myself, you are going to want a laptop that you can take where ever you need, easily (both weight and size) and something that wont die in an hour. Come back to Yahoo Answers when you are ready to buy a gaming laptop, as any advice as to parts is pure speculation and will lead you astray.
