My husband is applying to medical school this year. I am a stay-at-home Mom to a two year old, and one on the way. Medical school doesn't allow students to work, so we will be living off loans. However, I've seen some estimates of maximum loan amounts, and with tuition nearing $40,000, there isn't even close to enough to even afford rent, let alone anything else. Most of the schools are in big cities, which makes the cost of living even higher. If you've been in this situation, or know someone else who has, what did you do? Would we qualify for section 8 or housing vouchers just until he gets into residency? What is the maximum amount of loans someone can get per year for medical school (subsidized + unsubsidized)? Any info would be appreciated.

If a person is retaking a class and they use past exams to study from. Even if after taking the first exam it's obvious that the questions are (for the most part) the same only switched around. Do you think a person could get into trouble for this?

it's a narrative one. I'm writing about how I ran the mile for the first time... x____x
And also, it would be GREAT if anyone could help me get a sentence to "grab" the readers attention too.

A tiny bit more of what it's about: My throat was dry, it was really hot outside, and my friend wouldn't stop running and I needed to keep up to talk to her.
It wasnt like a really bad experience, but I didn't have a hell lot of fun either.

Ok I think its something like this -
A = 4
B = 3
C = 2
D = 1
F = 0

You add them all up and then divide by 7 but then I heard there was different for like B+ or B-.
So here are my grades..
82% ~ B-
93% ~ A-
95% ~ A
100% ~ A
84% ~ B
81% ~ B-
100% ~ A

so like what do you do for + and - ??

Thanks :)

How do you "expand" on writing and make it smooth? I'm supposed to be writing a page on describing a wintery scene, but so far I only have a paragraph, but the sentences aren't nicely linked together and have no flow between one another. It's simply a sentence about the sun, then a sentence about trees, next a sentence about how the snow looks, then a sentence on how the snow has dips, etc.

I love England and it is my dream to study at Oxford or Glasgow. Unfortunately, for some reason my parents as well as all my friends say it is almost impossible to get there for a non-EU student asking for financial aid. It is really a wonder I haven't dropped my hope yet, but as it gets closer to graduation I become more and more anxious... Is it really true there is no chance for a non-EU student to attend?

Can anyone think of any sayings that have an opposite saying? For example, " Too many cooks spoil the broth" and then we have "Many hands make light work" can you think of any more?
Just thought of another! "Out of sight , out of mind" and "Absence makes the heart grow fonder" , any more?
