[quote=Anonymous][quote]Can you read? I went to a private college. I had an academic scholarship that paid 75% of my tuition which was almost the same as the public university nearby. I still had to take our loans for room and board. That is not free.[/quote] PP - I get that your parents didn't contribute their EFC and that you had a scholarship that accounted for 75% of the tuition... so you paid between $4 and $5K per year for your tuition. If you took out 40k in loans, that means that you took out another ~$5-6k per year for room and board. Did you work during the summers? I had summer internships in the 90s that paid me ~3k per summer. I also worked during the school year earning roughly that over the academic calendar. Not enough to cover everything, but it made a dent. I also lived in some pretty cruddy apartments with roommates because it was ~1/2 the price of campus room and board. I'm not blaming you, PP, but you ALSO had choices that you didn't make.[/quote]
