Question: Blinn College - Brenham or Bryan Campus?

I am in the midst of deciding as to which campus I will be attending next year for Fall 2009, so if anyone has any experience with either of the colleges listed, then your response would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know the campuses, but I do know the towns. Brenham is the home of BlueBell ice cream. It's a nice country town and about two hours to either Houston or Austin. Bryan is the home of Texas A&M and is very much an Aggie town. Everything revolves around A&M. It's also midway between Houston and Austin, but it seems like it takes a long time to get to either big city. So, while Brenham is a quieter kind of sleepy but quaint town, Bryan is much more active but has a very heavy conservative Aggie feel to it.

Question: Are there any specific grants that will help pay rent and utilities for college students?

I am a high school graduate this year, and I'm starting college at Blinn - Bryan in June.(They don't offer housing). I really need to be prepared to move ASAP but right now I only work part-time. When I move to Bryan I wont have a job right off the bat. Therefore, I'm going to need money for Rent and Electricity. What are some grants that are available for college students to help pay for what needs to be paid for...PLEASE HELP!

Yes. believe it or not if you go to your counselor and ask him to direct you to the campus loans and activities department, you can apply for many loans that help with books, travel, rent and other needs. you can also check your local welfare offices to see what kind of programs they may have. I don't know if that is helpful, but start calling and asking people who work at community offices or at your school administration! GOOD LUCK!!!!
