Bumping out of curiosity. I would like to know this as well.

At least in grad school, loans disperse the first week of classes or thereabouts.

Somewhere from around the time classes start to a few weeks after. In grad school now, for Spring 2010, first day of classes was 1/19, check was dated Feb 1.

I believe NYU's site said that payments are made sometime in August for on-time applicants. Could be wrong.

That seems to be cutting it a little close.

TITCR. Prepare to front your first months rent (unless you're living in university housing, in that case check because they may credit you), cost of books, and about half a month's cost of living.
Exact times may vary, but so far I've gathered that most school's loan dispersion is during the first week of classes.

Yeah really. MacBook Pros aren't cheap! (Or textbooks, food, the other necessities.)

I would believe that when I see it. I'm a grad student at NYU now and their mismanagement of my loan disbursements is part of the reason I couldn't even fathom staying in this university for another three years.

Def plan on not getting the money until 2 weeks into school. It threw a HUGE wrench into my 1st semester when I had to wait not only for just the check but also for it to go through.

Well, that's depressing. I might have to stay at my job a bit longer than I'd planned, or go to daddy for some pre-loan funds. Crap.

Right. Depending on when you move in, you may actually need TWO months rent if there's any kind of hold up and you have a landlord rather than university specific housing.

Northwestern said first day of classes.
They also said it's better to get direct deposit, so you don't wait longer.

Typically its dispersed around a week to a week and a half before the first day of class. Atleast where I go to school.

Haha. Sorry to say it seems to be the same everywhere (or at least for your uptown brethren, if that's how you plan to escape said mismanagement)

So I'm new to this loan business - I know loan money is applied towards tuition, fees etc for school, then you get a check for the remainder which you then use to cover your COL expenses? is this how it works? (please excuse m if I sound a bit naive)

Law school has their own financial aid office. As with all of the law school offices, they're very responsive.
