...choices on the registration checklist are: "I'm impecunious. Can you call me and let's talk about deferring the registration [fee] until my finances are better?" and "I will need housing at good ole Harvard. I'll need some place to crash [pick a night]." Or, for humor, "I'll be arriving by plane, bus, train or sailboat and will need to be picked...
