    Have you noticed …
    Have you noticed that there aren’t any debtor prisons any more? Get the loans, go to school, get the degree and don’t pay it off. Not much they can do really.

    I’m suprised you never mentioned to START EARLY. That’s nearly as important as filling out FAFSA. The earlier you start working with your Financial Aid Office, the better.

    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.
