[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The people with large families do no worry about college tuition. They teach their kids to work through college, get merit aid, and supplement with loans. [/quote]
Yup I'm one of 4 and my parents didn't pay for college for any of us. We went to the cheapest option and got merit scholarships. 
Me -college was free i got merit scholarships
Sibling #2: took out small loan and worked it off
Sibling#3: partial merit scholarship and worked for the rest
Shopping#4 full merit[/quote]

I worked, got merit aid, took out direct loans and that didn’t even come close to COA. I graduated college in 2013. The plan you mention is not possible anymore unless you’re counting parental help (only help I got was parent loans). [/quote]
My last sibling just graduated college. It can be done.

One thing was we all lived at home and did local colleges. Brooklyn College is very affordable for New Yorkers. You get a part time job and live at home and done. [/quote]

Its not that easy.  To get merit aid you have to b every smart.  And, not all parents will let kids live at home.  UMD tuition is almost $11K not including books or other expenses.  That's not exactly affordable to work part-time.

Your parents are really selfish not to help pay anything.[/quote]
