One horror story is the long waiting times. I knew a student who submitted their FAFSA on time but had to wait months for a response. It caused so much stress as they didn't know if they would get financial aid in time for tuition. Another is the complex paperwork. A friend filled out the form incorrectly due to the confusing instructions and then had to redo the whole thing, delaying their aid process.
There are many FAFSA horror stories. One such story is about a family who thought they had accurately filled out the FAFSA. However, they later found out that they had misinterpreted a question regarding the student's dependency status. This led to an over - estimation of their financial ability to pay for college. As a result, they received less financial aid than they actually needed. The process of appealing this decision was long and arduous, involving a lot of paperwork and communication with the financial aid office. It was a very stressful time for the family, and it almost made it impossible for the student to continue their education without taking on a large amount of debt.
Definitely the errors and how hard they are to fix. If you make a small mistake, like a wrong digit in your Social Security number or misreporting income slightly, it can cause a huge headache. You have to go through a lot of steps to correct it and it can delay your aid for a long time. Plus, the lack of clear communication from the FAFSA side about what went wrong and how to fix it quickly is really bad.

The last hiker saw a pair of glowing eyes in the dark before passing out, and when he woke up, he was alone in the middle of the forest with no sign of his friends.

I heard a story where in a house share, there was a really noisy roommate. He would play loud music late at night, every night.

They tried to talk to him, but he just ignored them and continued his inconsiderate behavior.
