EXAMPLE: I was assigned to a clinic in Summit County for my community health rotation this semester. This morning my car would not start and my mechanic says the alternator needs replaced and has quoted me $550. I’m living on a very tight budget while in school and I don’t have savings to cover this expense. I don’t know how I will get to/from my clinical rotation without repairing my car. I'm worried about failing my community health class and disrupting my progression in the undergrad program.
