So I have officially sent in the housing and application deposits that add Kelsey to Salem State University's class of 2015.  Now I'm waiting to hear how much financial aid they will award her...she got a letter from Framingham State (another one she applied to and was accepted to) yesterday saying they awarded her with 2750 per semester of an ( Read more... )
