Those adds can be misleading… Please don’t borrow $40,000 a year for college! If you borrow that much you will be in well over 100K of debt when they hand you your diploma.
The last 3 tips are the great. The most important one though is number 2… don’t over borrow! Borrow what you need to live your life and that’s it – it will only hurt you later.

Words of wisdom. …
Words of wisdom. I’m an honor student with a a large scholarship. I work and make little to nothing. I came from community college paid practically nothing and obtained a better education than the one I am receiving now. LOL. After college I will have $20,000 in grant and bank loans. Private colleges should fail like the banks. Or, at least go back to what they used to mainly be, country clubs for the wealthy. They are obsolete and a racket.
Going to college is …
Going to college is not worth creating debt with an unmerciful government. Sometimes, health issues and certain mental and physical disabilities prevent a person from making enough money to barely survive on, but the government will still take their money. You can not take bankruptcy. You are trapped permenantly. There is no mercy! No forgiveness of debt. Don’t be fooled. A job is not promised at the end of your education. Education doesn’t always mean prosperity.

Oh yea, while you are in the process of gettin money dont ever feel like you are left out cuz all the “cool ppl are going to college” and you are working 2 jobs. These cool ppl are mostly middle class idiots setting themselves up for debt. If you have rich parents who will pay for your college then just disregard this message. Have a good day.
fuck this bullshit, …
this bullshit, if you cant afford it dont buy it. Take a year off and live with your parents and dont ing go to parties dont do anything other than working 2 jobs straight. And youll be straight for college. unless your going to medical school, but for most ppl youll be straight. If your parents force to you pay bills monthly youll save around maybe 15-20k. When you get that, go to a community college then a 4 year one and you good to go.
