[quote=Anonymous]It was a bit ago, but I had a parent who wouldn't pay who made too much to qualify me for aid. He'd worked his way through college in the 70s and thought I should do the same, with zero recognition of how things of changed. We also lived in a low tax state without a reasonable public option. Living at home wasn't an option as we didn't live near a college. I got into a T10 but attended a tier 4 university for the merit scholarships. I also got significant outside scholarships, e.g., Goldwater and local scholarships I took out loans (the max Fed Direct loans an undergrad was allowed to take). I worked three on campus jobs to afford living expenses, health insurance and car insurance, but still struggled to afford food. Often attended on campus events for the free food.[/quote]
