Visa Letter has arrived! Hallelujah!

Aberystwyth has finally sent me my visa letter! I am ecstatic, as it has taken several months, plenty of paperwork, and a mysterious labyrinth of a process that no one at the University Admissions Department seems to be fully aware of. As was recently highlighted, I have had to jump through several hoops and make numerous calls to the university to no avail. Well now everything is fine.

In terms of finances, my federal loans have come through very easily once the proper steps (never actually made clear to me throughout the process, as it is quite different from the Student Aid for domestic schools) were taken. Now it is just a question of coming up with another 10 000 or so dollars to meet the tuition and maintenance fee requirements, which my father, bless his soul, is doing everything in his power to help me attain. Things are looking up for my Student Visa, and I am quite happy about that!
