It’s the little things...

When I was talking with SK about her college prep plans she told me about a student that had come in for help filling out his FAFSA. She began to go through the form with him and asked him for his name, birthdate, etc. She asked him for his address and the student looked confused. SK repeated herself and the student looked baffled. He didn't have an address! Unless, "Oceanside, past the pig pens on the left" can be entered on the FAFSA form. On automated online forms like the FAFSA it often won't let you pass on to fill out the next section until you have filled in the current section. Of course, there are ways to bypass this, like just entering a fake address or the school's address, but nonetheless it's an interesting problem to run into, and certainly one the FAFSA peeps may not have taken into account.
