A friend's daughter just signed a lease for 2019-2020 there. Apartment with two bedroom, living area, in-apartment washer/dryer. $950/month. So with a rooomate, you can get a nice place for $475/month. You can get a nice two bedroom apt in Palo Alto for $5000/month. 😳😳😳😳😳 |

Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding! You have hit upon the likely answer. If the student had to do summer school in order to be admitted the school she is transferring to, the scholarship would not start until the fall. That would explain the situation. That’s just fine. But it doesn’t explain away the main part of it that is curious: why was it unexpected? Do we really believe that Iowa admissions and/or athletic depts said “well, you’re accepted into the school, but we’re not going to spend any effort whatsoever until the last second possible to determine if you need to take summer school at Iowa to be eligible in the fall. But I wouldn’t worry about it! We’ll get back to you in late May.” Come on ... Commits to transfer in the spring, does poorly in classes during spring semester, jeopardizing the admission to the new university. Has to take summer school to up the GPA and meet admissions requirements. Not that far-fetched. |

I just don’t understand how there would be a scholarship available for her in the fall but not in the summer. I’m guessing she was not taking classes but wanted to be on campus. That’s a situation where her housing can’t be paid for. |

I don't know how anyone does badly in college. When I taught, I made it clear that the difficulty of my class was dependent on what grade they wanted:
A -- very difficult class; only 2-3 students in the entire class of 25+ will probably get A's
B -- hard but not impossible and definitely manageable; seek a lot of help from me in office hours; about 5-8 students will probably get this grade
C -- normal difficulty; if you simply followed directions carefully, did all the homework, and sought help once in a while in office hours, you should do fine; the bulk of the class (roughly 12-15 students) should get this grade
D -- easy class; follow directions, do most of the homework; roughly 2-3 students will probably get this grade
F -- super easy class; don't do a thing; homework? what homework? Roughly 1-2 students will probably get this grade

Just a stupid question then, when do scholarships actually start?
Or is it different from case to case.
For example. some students (mostly football) graduate early to be on campus for spring semester, so the if they are scholarshipped, does that start then early? And then end early?
So in this case, if she is transferring in to Iowa, starting in the fall, when exactly does the scholarship kick in? And do scholarships cover expenses year round?
So a freshman lives in the dorms, but then during the summer they have to get an apt if they want to stay in town, do scholarships cover that?

The department allows her to keep her previously unneeded money... Taking that money off the table for the transferring student... That could have been out of the coaching staffs hands.... SWA says "were graduating this SR.... Your transfer is SOL"... Not hard to imagine a scenario similar to this... |

I think what may have happened is the University wouldn't admit the transfer (and grant a scholarship) until their grades were acceptable. Thus, the student had to take summer classes and incur expenses that they weren't planning on, thinking they would be on scholarship during the summer. Rumor is that Bond paid the player a large sum of money via summer camp salary to cover the tuition/housing. |

They don’t grade, and they active avoid interactions with students. Because these things are massive time sinks. |

I did indeed teach at a research university, two different schools in my 20s and later in my 40s, both as graduate TA, not a professor. |

In my final three years of college, I lived rent free in a mansion in San Marino, CA. There was a catch: I had to maintain the owner's house and property, from minor repairs I did on my own (e.g., plumbing, carpentry, yard) to hiring and working with contractors for various renovations. I was essentially the on-site handyman and amateur general contractor. The owner himself, who had a variety of social anxiety disorders, just didn't want to bother with that stuff. He mostly stayed in his study all day to play in the stock market. He just wrote a check or handed me a wad of cash to cover all expenses. It was a pretty sweet arrangement. It didn't take that much time away from my studies (it was actually a good respite) and I learned a lot. Really Wolfgang............

You'll know when the Corn and Swine festival season kicks in because Hawk Attack will: 1. Start complaining how he does't have time to update his fantasy roster and that's why he got drummed the previous week, and stuck with same roster upcoming week...smh 2. His posts on Sunday night will read with a slight slur, and his Monday posts will have a hangover feel! 3. I'll have to track him down Sunday evening for his top 25 ballot and his response will be, "I didn't turn that in yet?" Life in Iowa!!! LMAO |
