I was crushed. All I needed was that one 'yes' as answer. It's a pretty lousy trick form the government. They know perfectly well you can't afford studying abroad with just one loan and a job unless your parents' pay-scale is upper class. Heck, you can't even afford studying with a loan and a job here.

You could always try the course and see what you think in a few weeks, surely... Leastwise that's no problem here. The best class I ever had was a movie class. Pretty much every other week the teacher went "If you're sensitive/can't watch tv violence, skip these scenes". He even went "Skip this whole movie" at one point. I think it was Taxi Driver, but I'm not sure.
