How would you get 2000 in 4 days if you were a broke-ass student?

1) Hit all the thrift stores in a 50 mile radius
2) Buy anything you see with a label discussed here
3) Post the items for sale on the forum
4) Don't send them
5) Keep posting more items for sale
6) Tell people the items were mis-addressed but will be sent out again
7) Keep selling items
8) Don't send them
9) Stop posting and returning PMs from buyers but you can keep coming back to visit
10) Enjoy your money

I once saw a homeless guy somewhere in Broadway, San Francisco with the funniest effing sign: "need money for alcohol research." I gave him 2 dollars for making my day. I suggest you do the same.

So I just got back from my class registration today... All went well, registered for classes, patted myself on the back for going back to school, etcetera., Anywho, at the end of the day they handed me my bill, which is $2160. Which is really cheap. However, I have a total of 4 days to pay for it.

2 of which are weekends.

I'm sure a forum for luxury goods and high-end clothes will have some trouble relating to my plight, so... Let's just say I have $20 in my wallet and I am relieved that this particular weekend, I do not have to starve. What to do?

S> 45rpm JOMONS $2160! Pre-loved! contact me size 33.

On a serious note, please tell me you at least inquired into student loans today.......right?

No Idea if you get anything in the States (I know its called donation for a reason) for giving your bodily fluids, but if so, you could sell plasma, blood, sperm or bone marrow.
In retrospect you'd probably either hate yourself for doing so, or consider it one of the stories to tell your kids one day when they complain about money being in short supply.

Otherwise talk to financial aid or just start attending classes and pay as soon as possible as others have suggested. Good luck, that reminds me- I need to pay tuition soon...

Most bills are due when services are rendered. As in seriously. Hello, plan.

At my school, they wouldn't un-enroll you unless you hadn't paid your fees for half a semester. There was a late fee, of course, but at least you were still in school. Talk to the registrar--there's probably a special circumstance exception or something you can do to delay the fees by two weeks at no cost.

H) Hanseat actually did have a good idea. But it ain't no $2k. I) Regards to all, Huntsman

Of course, you wouldn't. After all, you value your reputation.

Do what any scholarly individual would do....rob a 7-11.

You have to register before they charge you, because it determines whether you're charged as a full-time or part-time student, and most universities will charge even more than just full time if you take over a set number of credit hours in a semester.

 

[Musselma]

Do what Hanseat said, go sell plasma and sperm and whatever else you can. Then try and get your friends to do the same thing and give you the money

On a related note, I hear kidneys sell well on the black market

Of course. But if I valued it a little less I'd have an Aston Martin.

Well it depends. At my two-year, you get in the registration line, register, and then you walk into the line next door to pay. The price/credit is known by you in advance. Deadline is the first day of classes. If you don't pay, you aren't on the 'approved' list each Prof. has when the first roll call is made. OP, though, seriously, even though the Profs are technically not supposed to let you stay in class past the first week, I never knew any who would kick out a student. That might buy you a week or two. If you're registered, the Prof would have to kick you out... and that's unlikely.

At my private Uni, you apply as full- or part time, and thats how you are. You must pay prior to registering or you have a hold on your account at the registrars office and you can't register.

Long ass day. Sorry for being prickish.

Rent Less Than Zero. Pay special attention to the Robert Downey Jr. character. Figure it out from there.

Well, you could always go to a bank. What you do there and how you get the money is up to you.
