Financial support

@@ -37 +37 @@
 There is currently a $288.00 facilities fee and a $16.00 student activities fee that is charged to every graduate student at Columbia University. While some departments pay these fees for their students, currently our department does not. These bills come due at the beginning of each semester and are subject to late fees if not paid on time, though generally asking for amnesty on late payments will get the late-fees waived (though not the facilities and student activities fees themselves).
 
-It is calculated by the university that roughly $1000 per year in expenses is not covered by fellowships and stipends. This means that you are allowed to borrow on unsubsidized student loans up to this amount per year. These loans are administered through the [http://www.columbia.edu/cu/gsas/sub/finaid/main/welcome/index.html Financial aid office of GSAS] located in 107 Low Library, but are all offered through private lenders and generally charge higher interest rates than subsidized loans.

 Additionally, it is possible if you are in a temporary financial bind to take out an emergency loan of up to $1000. Post-dating a check to Columbia University for the amount you borrow will give you access to immediate cash.
