[quote=Anonymous]I didn’t read the whole thread, but here are my observations a teacher, mom, and former poor kid: 1) application fees can be waived. 2) sometimes, the college kid lives off grant and loan money —alleviating a financial burden on the rest of the family. My mom and my brother had an immediate lift in their standard of living while I attended college because I became mostly self-supporting. My mom gave me a bit of cash each month for the 8-9 months that I was away at school. This was less than it cost to feed me at home. When I’d come back home each summer, the strain returned. I didn’t come home the last two years as a result. I took campus jobs that had housing included and sometimes meals. 3) when the job market is tight, some people will go to college who might have worked instead. [/quote]
