KitKat ... talk to your insurance rep because with 0 income I believe you will qualify for medicaid at no cost and you don't have to wait until the end of the year because you will have a "change of life" when you stop working so can get the different insurance mid-year. I would start talking now so that you already have the facts when it is time and it is one less thing to deal with at the time.
Some colleges also offer discounted plans to students at their school. Ask in the counseling office about this.
If you have a major in the hard sciences, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, then your classes in your major start at latest second quarter. That was my case in Physics, but that was only because you needed the math to do the physics, so majors math classes started the first day.
We don;t pay here in Scotland, Education is Free for everyone to access not just the rich or middle class
University is free in Sweden.I am in the US, for a year, on an exchange programme, that does cost money. I received, a scholarship, for all of it, including the airfare. This was great luck. I do still have to pay for the language courses I'm taking at the university, but, they are not so expensive.
Is it possible/easy to study part time in college in US? Or is it same prize that way? I mean, that way person could work part time and study part time at same time, at least in theory
Paid for CC out of pocket, taking out loans for the remaining two years of my BA and whatever graduate work I do. I'm eligible for some financial aid, which I'll graciously accept, but the hoops you have to jump through for some of it almost isn't worth it. I'd rather just take out a loan or two to fund the cost.
I don't mind going into debt for education at all, it's one of the best things a human being can do with their lives.
Personally, I think higher education should be free. Then again, I also think the U.S. should have free health care, and most Americans fear anything non-Capitalist like it's the plague.

Oh I do too. I'm just saying that I place such a high value on higher education that I'm willing to go into debt for it. Personally, I think it should be both free and mandatory. I mean, we look at how enlightened Europe is compared to America, our country could afford to make a lot of progress if a higher percentage of our population was properly educated.
I have witnessed a lot of that "enlightenment" in their treatment of their Jewish citizens this past year....no thank you.

Danes pay something like 60% in taxes, but health care and education is free and women get 52 weeks of maternity leave - full pay. Statistically they're one of the happiest, if not the happiest countries in the world.
If 60% taxation leads to that kind of cultural and societal cohesion, I'm all for it.
And it's way worse than our treatment of ethnic minorities here in the U.S. huh?

As far as I'm concerned, the Scandinavian countries have it figured out.
The person I was talking to had to wait 6 months for the scan my husband got in days.
The wait time in the US is all over the place, so I wouldn't jump to defend it.
I had to wait three months to get an MRI after complaining about terrible head pains that resembled small strokes and left my neck and mouth numb (and then another three months to get a second scan because something had gone wrong with the first, and then two months to get a third scan because they wanted a second opinion from another hospital). There were more tests done over a period of about a year and a half, all spaced out by months.
Thank God nothing serious was wrong with me, or the damage would have been done during all of that wait.
Why did you have to wait 3 months for an MRI? At most hospitals in the US, you can get it within hours....and within days if it is outpatient. By any chance, did you have government insurance?
I was on a private insurance plan (BCBS to be exact).
I have no idea why I had to wait, but it's not a rare thing. It happens to family and friends all the time. I always thought it was totally normal.
