Finding a federal job and working in rural America is one of the many ways to get your back off those loans, if your lender is Dep of Education.

wallah i heard this is an issue in the west.
why not send kids to cheaper education countries like maleysia, indonisia, pakistan and when you go back to your country you just do the license and withour loans and without headaches.

alxamdullilah i havent taken any loans

staying off campus and living at home is good, you can always stay on campus and hang out

Husky Promise, plus extra scholarships, means no loans needed.

Its good to be a minority

A degree from asian countries can be worthless sometimes, it depends on the school but I do know some people who have gone that route.

Western Europe (Germany, Holland, Sweden) has the best higher education system, I heard it is totally free over there

UK is somewhat worse you have to pay 3-4.000 pound per year

US is the worst with over 30.000$ per year

Here we have the Hope Scholarship, which is a guranteed scholarship to any student who graduates with a 3.0 GPA from any high school in Georgia and as long as you maintain that GPA in undergrad, you're guranteed to get it. Add that to Pell Grant and you won't need a student loan.

it depends, if you wanna go to the Ivy League and huge Private instituitions yeah its $30,000 tuition plus another $10,000 for room and board

I advise people to stay in-state and get good off campus housing be it your own apartment, you and a friend sharing or staying with your family.

Myself I have my $8,000 tuition and fees covered through scholarship and grants (I even got more money from other sources so I'll be getting a check from the Uni), but if I stayed on campus, I still would have to come up with another $8,000 for room and board plus some other fees that come along with it. Why pay that when I can just keep my leftover grant/scholarship money in my bank account?


Its a no brainer for me, but to each his own I guess. Everybody got their own thing to worry about.

As a matter of fact good schools like Harvard are more than $30,000.00 it is around $50,000.00 the first year..But it really pays back..People who have been into those IVY LEAGUE Schools tend to get better paying jobs...Good for them

Not so. You don't automatically get a good paying job; you need clout (garabeeshan).
