if you haven't done it yet, you should complete your Fafsaa application first then get on Sallie Mae (or another lender of your choice) and complete their application by selecting Ross University which is listed under the state of New Jersey.

Apply for the stafford and gradplus loans if you want to get the max amount and live comfortably.

Don't forget, for anyone that wants to use Island Thrift for all your med school needs, we have a deadline of THIS Thursday, March 20th to place an order that will be guaranteed to be there before the 1st day of classes! We accept orders at ANY time but any order placed AFTER March 20th, may not make it to Dominica before the first day of classes! We also ship barrels on your behalf! You give us a list and we do the shopping, packing and shipping for you! We offer shipping discounts on multiple barrels purchased at once!

Thank you. I am from Arizona so I am assuming I would have to send it to a drop off site? I will look into both of those places today and thank you for your help.

Stalwart thank you also I will check out those sites today as well. Valuemd Rocks

Both are located out of Miami and take a couple weeks to arrive depending on whether you are located in or near Miami or need to ship by freight to arrive in Miami. I'm in Nor Cal so I have to drop off my barrel at a drop off point near SFO and then they drive it to Miami. You can look them up and their website should tell you where they have drop off points. UPS and Fedex are much more expensive if you want to ship a lot of stuff and USPS is a little cheaper but definitely not as cheap as the previously mentioned shipping companies. Google them and call them for more answers.

Hope that helps.

Good Luck!
Gloria

You can call Tropical Shipping to have them pick up your stuff from your home. IF you get barrels, it is way cheaper than if you do boxes. Uline sells the fiber drums and/or you can find them on e-bay. Make sure it is either a 55Ga or 75 Ga one.

who picks up the packages? does Ross give you a ride to the drop off?
