Really? You can't find a way to scrounge up $400? I've found your first obstacle to being rich. Go talk to people. That is a problem you should easily be able to solve. Try to find the money. Can't find the money? Go talk to people at the school until it gets taken care of. You are effectively giving up a semester of your life for $400. Be persistent. There are things of enough importance that you should not simply resign yourself to the fate someone else has dictated. I'd also suggest buying a copy of How to Win Friends and Influence People if you can scrounge up another $10. The lessons in that book were the main reason I had enough to eat my first 3 years of college.
