I’ve graduated with a BA in Journalism in 2007 and i’m having a hard time finding work. I want to begin attending graduate’s school, but I’m dirt poor. The only way I could afford college was through financial aid, and I used my parent’s income to do so. Does Columbia School of Journalim accept financial aid? If so, can I still use my parent’s income ? ( I still live at home). If Columbia doesn’t accept financial aid, can someone please list graduate schools that do.

Hi,

I am going to apply to New York University for the 2009 fall semester.

I was wondering whether it has a good reputation of giving enough Financial Aid for the average middle class person.

Thanks.
