What is the best lap top now-a-days to have as a freshman in college?

top 10 best laptops for college image

Ash

I'm a freshman in college this year and I'm having a little bit of trouble trying to figure out which one would be the best without breaking the bank.

Answer
Obviously there are a lot of different qualifications as to what the perfect laptop is. If this is a laptop that you will take to class everyday you will want one that is fairly small. I'd say no larger than a 15 inch screen. When I went to college I bought an Asus EEE PC with a NetBook. it has a 10 inch screen and only weighs about 3 pounds. If you are interested in getting a NetBook check out this website.

Is it possible for me to receive federal benefits even though I'm a college student with a job?

I'm considered an independent on my tax returns, and currently go to college full-time in California (though I'm an out of state student). I work every day (>30 hours/week).

My mother makes $20,000 a year, and my father makes about $14,000. They are divorced so I can't consider their combined income a household income. And, since they make so little, I pay for everything.

I pay for tuition (which I DO have loans/scholarships for), my car ($200/mo.), rent ($600/mo.), food (~250/mo.), gas I need for commute (~$200/mo.), and laptop and credit card bills (~$200/mo.).

Simply, I don't make enough to cover my essential expenses. I come from a family with a low socioeconomic status so I NEED to make all these payments. But, I make $11 as a caregiver - which simply isn't enough. And I am applying for other jobs.

It's so difficult to work more than 40 hours a week and go to school full time (and do well in school!).
Education is really important to me, and I go to a top 10 university, so I don't want to just drop out for now or transfer to a community college.

I was really hoping that considering all this, I'd be able to receive benefits until I'm out of college with a better career?

Thank you!

Answer
The question you need to ask is if FAFSA will consider you an Independent Student, or Dependent Student. Some of the major criteria are being older than 24, married, military veteran.

It doesn't matter if your parents kick you out of the house, and don't claim you on their taxes, if you don't meet the FAFSA requirements then you will not get financial aid and grants.
