[QUOTE="Rez Exelon, post: 3601900, member: 5800"] "A significant amount" being able to be circumvented still results in debt at the end of the day. Depending on the college/uni, and a myriad of other factors, it can be cheap or very expensive. I had scholarships/grants/work study and worked a second job and I was still in a pretty pile of debt at the end of it. Interestingly, I was making over, but relatively close to, minimum of the time period IIRC. Somewhere in the neighborhood of $8 something when minimum was 6 something. Cost of living 100% factors in. Let's say I'm from Tulsa and want to go to OU. What...am I going to be in my car? I'll have to have a place, Some colleges/universities in fact [B]require[/B] people to stay in their housing for a time period. TU does this for instance although I don't know the details anymore. The costs of being there, versus at home, As far as the 6k/22k debate --- it's closer than you think. IIRC my room/board were cheaper in comparison. That's another reason why it's better to look at it as the total estimated cost per year in many cases. [/QUOTE]
