Students eagerly await the arrival of that one particular admittance letter from the various colleges they sent applications to. Days, weeks, and even months go by without any news. Finally comes the day that they make their way to the mailbox to find a letter with their name on it from one of the colleges.
Excited yet wary, they open the letter, then in a burst of relief they read the words "We are happy to inform you". There are so many plans to make after that, one being how they are going to pay for tuition, books, and other expenses associated with attending college.
