I, too, am in the middle of this process (got the first financial aid package in the mail today). Like others, there are a number of things that are valid to complain about but the main one at this moment for me is the absurd policy forcing students to live on-campus - even for local/in-state colleges. Out here in the West (with the Western Undergraduates Exchange), it is not more expensive to go to many out-of-state than any of the in-state universities. Additionally, with private colleges seeming to offer more aid, they are not that much more either.
