pay for college

SCARRYY!!! $24,650…TWENTY FOUR THOUSAND – SIX HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLARS FOR 1 year of Nursing school!! It is freaking alot of money but its really hard to get into the community colleges around my area and i would probably have to wait a couple years before i qualify to get in so i’m going the direct route and paying. My parent, who i am thankful for everyday are helping me pay this amount of $994.44 a month for 30 months…Till i finish school and can pay it off myself. WOw, i’m sooo scared about this all and praying REALLY hard that i will be able to do this…Wish me luck!! I need all the luck i can get.

I’m so upset I had to pay $5,300 but I have no credit and my mother doesn’t have good credit because of a previous loan with my step dad who wasn’t paying his bill. I can’t go in the fall so now I have to wait till spring :( I’ve been waiting forever now I have to wait some more.

*edit- huge miracle my aunt paid for everything!

Well, it is my first year, and my need to have all my ducks in a row is causing me great stress.

Books will be over $600 and they wont let me have my financial aid until a month after I need it…. ugh.
Of course, there is always a way. Thank god for a supportive boyfriend. Racking up my tab with him—

If only i could have been a trust fund baby.
Oh well…

So far, $3500 in school loans for the first 2 semesters, and I have a full 8 years to go… with much much much more money to borrow.

I can’t seem to pay for college. I go to a Private University, and it’s a bit expensive. I have a few scholarships and grants to help me out, but it’s not seeming to help. My dad pays for my college, and it’s taking a toll on him financially! I love my dad so much, and I hate making him give up so much money to send me to college. We never really had a lot of money to begin with, but now, it’s getting crazy.
We’ve applied for 4 different loans. 3 rejected us, and the other one hasn’t even responded and that was over a month ago. I’m so confused and lost. I really NEED money for school, and even me working doesn’t help. My dad told me not to worry about it, because he’s going to do everything in his power so I can get exactly what I need. But I am worried, because what if he can’t get me what I need. I don’t want to tear our family apart with my financial inflictions!
I wish I knew what to do, but I’m going to keep trying until I succeed, otherwise my dreams will drown!

I just had to leave Catholic University in Washington DC. I couldn’t afford the $100,000+ price tag. Jeezus. I miss my school so much – but that’s just ridiculous…

5 days before graduation I still owed 2,000 to the school, and, of course, you can not graduate until you’re paid up. No money to speak of my boyfriend got a cash advance from his credit card to pay it off. It was such an emotional burden to dump off that I was shaking in the business office (they were expecting me [small school]) and had tears in my eyes as I walked out the door. I’m so glad it’s done.

I dropped out

it’s senior year, and I spent all of this semester afraid that I would have to drop out of school one semester short of graduating. You see I didn’t have enough money to pay for this semester, and you can’t register for next semester without paying for the current one first. I pulled it all together today the day before registration. I just have to pay for next semester. Then I will have finally made it without asking my parents for money the whole four years.

I have no idea… I filled out a loan that would pay for a couple thousand dollars… but I don’t know about the rest. I hope my parents figured something out.

i’ve been admitted to Ohio State but i don’t even know if i’ll be able to pay for it. my family got a high efc on that damn fafsa so i’m not getting any need-based money even though i really really need it. i always thought that if i got good grades and a high act score i would have no problem paying for college… i guess i was naive. I feel like everything i did in high school was a waste because i’m not getting any money. If i can’t come up with the money for college i’ll just have to fall on my backup plan of being a beach bum.
