Don't give up on going to college because you're poor. My parents are poor and didn't save or pay a dollar for me or my siblings to go to college. But I was able to go to one of the most expensive colleges in the country for free, and my sister also got financial aid at a state school because we are poor, and working + loans cover the rest for her. Paying back a ton of student loans has got to suck, but having a degree makes a huge difference in peoples' lifetime earnings (and college is a great experience in itself).

The poorer you are, the easier it is to get money for college. Seriously, there are so many public and private grants thrown out. It's much more worrisome if you're in the mid-class where they make your parents pay quite a bit (but still, just apply like crazy for scholarships).

THANKS OBAMA

Money shouldn't be a reason why you don't go to college. If you're middle-class and your family's EFC is just too high, there are a ton of good schools that offer grants or work-study programs for students. And, if your EFC is super low, the government will take care of it. College just opens up so many opportunities it's ridiculous to not go at all because of a perceived inability to pay.

im in UT atm

flatbush community college for the dimeless rapper

jk, hoping to get into yale, both my parents went there soooo legacy?

Hoping to get into Yale as well. C u at (Yale) lan. I'll check back on this thread in two years.

Rice is a great school. I hardly even leave the business school though, so my impression may be limited.

if you know youre going to come out of college with a good job then just take the loans. if youre remotely responsible with your money they'll be paid off quite fast.

Sitting in the nordic lands of Canada, I study at the University of Waterloo. Used to be ECE but switched over to Arts and Business - Psychology.

junior at university of nebraska-lincoln. i wanted to go to film school in boston, but $44,000 a semester is muy expensive

double represent. 919 holla

sent in my application for transfer to Texas A&M just a few weeks ago. Literally dying in Community College until then.

If you're strapped for cash you can always apply to do distance learning through a number of different schools. Take 6-12 credits a semester while you work and cover your own way. It's tough, but possible.

There are a number of reputable universities that offer this as an option. Penn State, NC State, Oregon State, Arizona State, Missouri... ...you have legitimate options out there that are not ITT Tech.

You should play with rigeL.
When I went to RIT it was kind of depressing. Although my tech school RPI is also pretty depressing.

I didnt go to college and I occasionally make 10$ an hour

As long as you're not a african americans studies major or similar, taking out 20k loans/year shouldn't prevent you from attending a college

That's not fair. There are many majors that are equally as useless in the job market as African American Studies. For example, American Studies.

And as much as I hate to say it, unless you're getting a business or some sort of useful science degree, don't take out 80k to get a humanities degree. It doesn't matter the prestige of the school. It's not worth it. Go somewhere cheaper and closer to home and get that debt manageable. Because if you do go to that really expensive east coast school to get that fancy name on your CV, you're just gonna end up back at your parents' house anyway.

First year Business major @ U of Windsor.

going to virginia tech for engineering

Taking a semester off right now, but I go to Simpson College. I was going there for the humanities then I found this: http://www.openculture.com/freeonlinecourses I then switched to a computer major.

Fuck paying for humanities classes, spend money to make money instead :3

I'm a 1st year @ RIT right now, ISF major.

Junior in High School, I have a 3.5 GPA but I got a 31 on my first ACT without studying so I think I'll be fine. I hope to go to OSU as it's nearby and my parents work at it.

my friend's hawttt sister goes there.
