Okay, I'm turning 21 in Dec. I'm in my 3rd year at a Community College. 2.89 GPA. My parents are still putting me down as a Dependent. I could REALLY use the money for college. I want to know if there is a way to calculate the amount I would recieve from FAFSA. I don't want to become “independent” and then not get to much money b/c I still get awsome insurance (health, dental, eye, ect) through my parents as a dependent.

anyone help me figure out how much I can get? For a little more info I'm graduating in Spring with an AA and AS.

I'm mulling the idea of Studing Abroad or Transfering Right away.

Is there aything i can take or do to help my body fight the Gingivitis until i can get to a dentist in the morning? I have had Gingivitis for about 32 hours now i did not realise how serious Gingivitis could be until now. I have been tkaing garlic tablets to try and help what other things could i take ? The dentist is not there until tomorrow. In england they only open from 9am until 5pm if theres a emergancy then you have to call dental line then travel to the nearest one some of which are not local.

i am in the induction phase of the south beach diet. i'm noticed a strange taste in my mouth and i assume my breath isnt too wonderful either. is this temporary?

i say they dont give ppl a monthly child benefit payout in the usa like they do in the uk but my mate said im wrong. i do think up to a certain age that children rec medi care which allows them medical/dentist treatment but tell me if im wrong. Basically in the uk no matter how rich you are if you ahve a child you will rec child benefits.im guessing that if your rich in the usa you wont care about gettign benefits but what about the poorer ppl? do ALL americans get it if they ahve a child or just those that fall under a certain 'income' threshold?
