Not sure I follow the above scenario, but I know there's a couple months turn around for returning or changing your loan amount where it will be credited back as a decrease in the loan amount (and not a "payment" on the principle/interest).

You can also go full loans first year (or a more liberal range), then evaluate how you used those funds over the year and cut down on loans the next year.

Maybe not, but in California I've heard that state disability laws do require it.
Oo yeah, that might be true! I don't really know about what specific states have said about it.

But if y'all will indulge my moralistic argument for a second longer b/c I actually feel strongly about this, I think faking an emotional or psychological disorder totally delegitimizes people who actually have those problems. I think most people would agree that pretending to be in a wheelchair to get preferential treatment, for example, would be a p terrible thing to do. The sorts of mental illnesses that actually require emotional support animals are no less 'real' than physical disabilities, but I think people take advantage of the fact that they're less visible/tangible to abuse the loopholes. :|
I don't disagree! But bear with me here - by the same token, couldn't one argue that the fact that those sorts of mental illnesses are less visible/tangible means that there are probably quite a number of sufferers going about their lives undiagnosed? Or that it's possible to know oneself well enough to "self-diagnose" and "self-medicate" by understanding that one is helped by a support animal? And if so, how could a landlord or anyone else question that and attempt to argue the opposite side?
Oh I'm not talking about people (like landlords) "policing" it, or people who legitimately think they need one. My issue is with people who think "Gee I want to be able to fly with my dog" or "Hmm it sure would be nice if I didn't have to pay a deposit to keep my pet in my apartment" and decide to fake it for their own convenience.
I guess what I'm getting at is, maybe there are grey areas. If one is close enough with one's pet to feel that it is absolutely indispensable in his life and during travel, perhaps there's a good reason for that even if he hasn't been diagnosed with an anxiety disorder or anything else. We've all got issues and we all find ways to cope.
(tbh my personal opinion falls somewhat closer to yours along the spectrum here, I'm just having fun arguing :wink:)

Yup that very well could be true for some people! Still different from the very specific subset of people I'm referring to, though. :) Like, sometimes I'll will myself into having a headache so I can take a sick day, and I'll feel guilty because I know deep down I spun it out of proportion so I could get my way. :oops: So I'm talking about people who, like me in that scenario, know deep down that all their justifying and rationalizing is BS.

Wait I thought the whole point of HP was that ALL Slytherins are evil and that everything is always black and white with NO grey areas.

..or was it the opposite I forget :oops:

You can also go full loans first year (or a more liberal range), then evaluate how you used those funds over the year and cut down on loans the next year.
It was like say you need 20k to meet COA, you can lower it to say 13k so the int accruing will be based off the 13k and then say you realize you need another 5k overall for the year you can bump that 13k to 18k say the day before your last class and the int will only then start accruing based off the 18k at that point so you can save a few months of int on the 5k you didnt initially borrow

yeah it was part of the main fin aid part of ASW, I plan on looking a little more into it down the road as I don't totally think Ill need 34k for the year so gotta look into how much I should take and all that.
