[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most kids don’t go to private schools in another state. Most kids go to an in-state school or community college and still take out loans. That’s why there are so many news stories about student loan debt. When I went to a private school 20 years ago, my solidly middle class parents had saved some money. I applied for every possible scholarship and got 1/2 tuition covered. I did 2 co-op semesters to earn money and I still graduated with $20k debt. And college was “only” $30k back then. [/quote] I almost forgot. I also worked at the library 10-15 hours a week and spent as little time in my apartment as possible because we kept the heat on 64 because we couldn’t afford the gas bill. I worked a few shifts a week at a restaurant and ate 1 big meal a day for free there any time I worked. At the end of the night we were allowed to take home any leftover soup and breadsticks.
