I'm just trying to learn more about this TASFA thing, I really want to transfer to a University once I get my basics done so please write anything about it here...
I filled out a TAFSA my freshman year, and I just turned one in for my upcoming junior year. It's a pretty basic straightforward form that you can find on the college for texans website.

I go to the University of Houston Main, and freshman year, I only got a few hundred each semester from the TAFSA, but it was better than nothing. I wasn't able to file my sophomore year b/c of tax issues, but I'm hoping this year I'll get a lot more, since UH is raising tuition by 6% (again!)

Oh yeah, and tuition and fees at UH have run me b/t $4000 - $5000 a semester approximately. Um, if you have any other questions, fill free to ask.
