How I did it: I went to an in-state university and got enough credits to transfer to my acupuncture school where I got my joint B.S. Nutrition and M.S. Oriental Medicine.  I took out a lot of school loans to pay for it while also working to make enough to support myself financially out of school as I had to live on my own.  I also made sure I had a lot of fun ... maybe too much, but you have to relieve the tension sometimes.

Lessons & tips: Stay organized and study.  Don't waste the money you're spending on your education -- make sure that you're getting something out of it.

Resources: Laptop and internet access -- helped me through some of the lonely times and of course is a great tool to use for studying or finding information.

Bank accounts and credit cards -- make sure to pay attention to your finances, build up your credit score by paying your credit cards on time every time!  Pay it all off too.

My brain and sensibility.  Don't spend more than you have and plan for the future!
