Paying for college

[Fe 26]

How is everyone else paying for school these days.

My family so far has paid for 99% of mine.

BTW, what do you guys know about the FASFA and getting money? I need to find other sources for college money. Both my eldest sister and mother have gained expensive health problems since I start to college and I'd really like to be able to ease up on the families pocket book.

My college was about 2.5k a year and I paid by working at a local CD/DVD store called HMV.

It wasn't that hard since I lived nearby.

Better start filling out for FAFSA quick. Depending on income, thats how they determine how much you get for tuition from the government. This past semester (04-05) I got back only $626 for the WHOLE YEAR! My tuition is $22,000 for the year. The $626 barely covers my books. Then again, my parents made over $100,000 and I made $30,000.

I just renewed mine and I only made $19,000 this year but I didnt include my parents cuz I'm officially independent from them (you have to be born before a certain date. If not, you're considered under your parents - Jan 1, 1982). I just gave them a copy of my 04 federal tax return. I'll find out how much I'll be getting back within the next week or so.

I took a parent loan since my parents are paying for it..but this last year of school, I'm going to take student loan.

In your case of financial problems..best thing to do is student loan. The interest rate I believe is better and you can pay back as long as you want as the parent loan is you have 10 years to pay it back once the child is out of school.

it's different when it's 40k a year.

Very different. You're screwed pretty much anyway you look at it.

My parents are too poor to pay for school for me. Everything I own right now and am living off of was bought with my own money or given to me by friends

I was in the Air Force for 5 years so the government is paying for my college now, prior to that I depleted most of what savings I had on school.

Student loans, yay! 60k+ in debt once I'm outta school! Yay!

$22,000 is a hell of a lot per year. In the UK, it costs around 12,000 pounds to put someone through university (3 years), which equates to around $18,000, + more for accomadation, but generally it's cheap so long as it's on campus. I'm lucky though; my parents have enough to pay for me when I go in a years time, so no probs for me

I strip. It pays the bills, but the hours are not the greatest.
