[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I was on financial aid in college, covered all my own 'extras' - bus fare, laundry, shampoo, etc. [/b] Travel costs were a big thing. I went to college near home so as not to have plane fares to deal with. Sororities were present, but not huge. I wasn't terribly interested, but the $ factor was there. It wasn't an expense I wanted to shoulder, and certainly wasn't covered by FA. [/quote] Back then, it did. A college friend and her husband were covering tuition, basic living expenses, and a baby out of their student loans. Not any more. Your kid can take out private unsecured loans to close the gap if that's what you want.[/quote]
