Yup, I'm a Michigan native. Thanks for the recognition, it means a lot to me! I have 46 credits right now at a smaller university, and by the time I'd transfer I'll have 70 credits. I just want to finish my degree at a really nice school such as MSU or UofM.

Where did you find scholarships to apply to? did you have a decent success rate? I'd hate to spend 40 hours a week applying to scholarships and not getting any. Hell, I've dealt with that enough applying for jobs in this state for last 2-3 years. haha :P

is undergraduate assistantship just work study? It's estimated that I'd get 3000/year from MSU if i got a work study/student employment job.

and yup, fafsa is taken care of, just need to worry about the gap of cash i dont have covered yet. (scholarships would be very niceeee... haha , tell me more about them! )
