Hrm, I've hot 0 students loans and stuff. I'd say that as far as tuition and books, the think is supposed to cost $18,000 for three years, but I find the most expensive thing is still living expenses. You know, not having the time to earn a lot of money (on in my case choosing not to work at all during les semestre). I've just been getting by working some months in summer and getting a small bursary $300 each year for being low income. Last year I got $800 scholarship money for kickin A at school, hoping to get it against for next semester.
Mouse, awesome that you're deciding to do this. The fact that we get to decide to apply ourselves makes all the diff.
Um, are you sure that the student loan system isn't exploiting you? It might be debt free til you finish school, but once you do, the debts gonna kick in. I'd never study if it required any debt of any sort. I can't even attend school week to week without telling myself that I can quit and bum it whenever I want. For me, debt is worse than prison.
time to finish my computer science degree. I'm nervous though, starting to feel trapped already and school hasn't even started yet. I'm trying to transfer to UMBC after I get my AA. Congrads!!
