Paying out of your own pocket teaches you what money is all about. I urge people to pay themselves and not get loans. If you REALLY HAVE to get loans then be wise. I have a friend who works in financial aid and sees too many cases of people NOT being able to pay them back. |
I agree.. Paying as much out of pocket as I can and it's actually making me finish a fuking semester. Instead of when my parents were paying for it.......... and I did very poorly! :stongue: |

Isn't it essentially the same? I mean, public higher education is free here in Brazil, so it's pretty much as if I were being paid to study.
And, based on Arbiter's post, I thought it worked the same way up there :conf: |
I go to a private school, though. :p
To clarify, I don't get "paid" per se; tuition is $41k/year, but the merit scholarship they offered in order to persuade me to enroll here rather than more prestigious schools reduces my tuition to $5k/year. I still have another $20k in living expenses per year or so, but I can easily afford $25k times three years out of the proceeds of selling my house prior to coming to school (although I may take out student loans rather than sell assets if the financial markets remain depressed, then sell once the market recovers & pay off loans immediately, since the inevitable upswing will very likely produce a rate of return much greater than student loan interest rates.) |

I guess you've never heard of "owning a business". $1000/hr owning a successful multi-million dollar business is not hard to comprehend. Comprende? Keep saying stupid ...;) |
while i do not own a multi million dollar business, i am self employed and own my own business...i have an idea what this takes.
that being said, your reality is that you would rather drop out of school than work to pay for it. nothing is free in life, and if you can't figure out how to pay for college there is no way you could figure out how to put a million bucks in your bank account.
you really fail at bull, my guess is parents basement for life with you. |

Yep, I'm gonna drop out and live in my parent's basement. |

| So Chase approved me for $7000. I'm good until next May, then my out of state tuition rate should be cut to in-state tuition which is 50% reduction. For a while there, I was worried. |

Roughly the same. Outside scholarships covered rent. |

There are more private schools than public ones. Usually, city universities are private. |

Same here, but almost all universities in the US I know are public.
Edit: Never mind, I thought all the universities on the Ivy League were public. |

Krypton why don't you just break the law and do your degree behind bars?
Probably easier and cheaper, less distractions and it's probably a better education than the crackhouse community college slum you no doubt attend.
