How "In" Are You?

[~Beauty_from_Pain~]

How many years have you been going to college and how much do you owe in student loans?

I am in three years, and I think I owe about 20 grand.

Oh yeah, and are you parents paying for your education? That plays a big role. My parents aren't helping.

2 years university. $0 debt.

Are your parents paying?

Yeah, but it's only about $5200/year, including books. Personally, I enjoy socialism.

Perhaps while not totally sharing your faith in the socialist state (although I admit some parts are really good), I am finished 3 years of uni and have no debt and am paying for it myself.

Awesome, how did you do it? Save up? Work all the time?

I'm determind not to go into debt, so I'd be interested to hear how you did it.

I've been going to college on-and-off for 6 years and have no debt... it's really nice when your parents are professors. My mom has this deal at her college where I can attend her college or a college on this exchange list for free. Quite a deal

Unfortunately, like all good things, it has to come to an end. Soon I must graduate and enter the real world. I like being a college student.

I have been going for 3 years and owe 1k. My parents aren't paying, but I've been working full time.

 

[Ainuhina]

have been at University for nearlly 2 years now and no debts...my parents are paying for everything - except paper and pens - and the fees aren't really that high in Austria....we just have to pay something around 260 Euros per Semester - which is less than I get paid for the few hours I work per month...

 

[fishstix]

-8 years, heading into my 9th
-no debt
-parents helped out some the first 4 years but not since then
-average cost including tuition/books/dorm has been about $10000 CDN per year

 

[servingtheking]

I'm two years in, and about $8k in debt, my parents are helping, but I'll have a nice big chunk to pay back.

 

[intricatic]

Almost 2 years, way too much money for me to even think about right now.

Parents are not helping, all loans in my name.

 

[sunshineray]

I don't qualify for loans so my dad is paying for half of my tuition and books and I pay the other half. I'm really lucky because I have been blessed with a wicked, well paying job and my dad works at the Uni so I get a tuition rebate.

 

[chemica]

I will start my 4th year in the fall.

$0 in debt

I have actually earned money during college. The account with my college fund is $12,000 higher than when I started because of the stock market and that includes the $7k per year we take out for tuition/books.
I go to CU Boulder btw. Yay in state tuition!

 

[~Beauty_from_Pain~]

You guys are lucky who have parents that are paying for your education or for at least some of it. I have to work for all of mine but at least it builds character and faith in God!!!!!!!

 

[Arclight610]

I won't owe anything for the first two years of my college experience. I'm starting at a local community college that my dad works at so my tuition is around $300 a year. I get a federal pelgrant for $800 a semester that takes care of my books and tuition. I just have to drive like 40 miles a day and I drive a big truck that gets like 10 miles to the gallon, but my parents are going to help pay for gas. I will also be working part-time. After my 2 years I'm transfering to Northern Illinois University. I expect to have about $10000 of debt at the very end of it all.

 

[ZACTAK]

I am going into my 5th year of college... my parents are paying for my schooling.. so I have no student loans

 

[DailyBlessings]

4 years, 20,000 dollars... How come all the scholarships are for freshmen?

 

[APKingBlue19]

so far 1yr and $10,000, but when i am done with my 6yrs of pharmacy school it will be around 150K.

 

[bumblebee62331]

I have no idea how much I am in debt.

Hmm. That's probably not good...
