Subject: How much are you paying for school? Tue Aug 30, 2011 3:40 pm
I'm currently in the process of applying to colleges to transfer to and just looking at the annual costs blows my mind. I have 3 main schools in mind; one that is $40,000+, the other is $30,000, and the last is a little over $20,000. I saved myself 2 years of college money by going to a community college, but still I have at least 3 more years left of continuing my education. I approximate that I will get roughly $10,000 grand in scholarships yearly due to my gpa and portfolio, but even with that I am afraid to commit to any of these schools! I'm looking at $40,000 dollars in debt MINIMAL by 2014!

Mwahaha, the Scottish government pays all the student fees for Scottish residents so universities are essentially free here!

Also, if I go to an English univeristy (which are better than Scottish ones), the maximum fees get to is £9000 which is just under $15,000.

I get a similar position to firegremlin, but I still have to pay for my course. The two years combined are in the $30,000 region, but the government loans that to me to pay for the course. Now, when my salary gets over a certain threshold, they take it out of my taxes.
Sure, I'm in debt for likely the rest of my life, but… Eh, I'll report back if it was worth it in a year or two.
