I know countless people here in the US that finished college, can't find a job right now and is at least $100,000 in debt. keep the hopes up and look for a way out, opportunities tends to pop up unexpectedly. Being $100k in debt is just irresponsible. There's no reason to have that much debt coming out of college. | ||

It's not just tuition man. You have to pay rent for your apartment, electric bill, gas, books, food which after paying for tuition is close to the amount he said. My school's expected amount every year is 21k so his statement stands correct. | ||

How much is $50? give us a relative figure here? If it's like $50 USD, people on TL.net can just donate it to you. | ||

Also those are figures from 2006-07; prices have been climbing steadily since the recession hit. If you go to a private school you're just sort of fucked. >_> One of the main reasons I chose to stay in Illinois besides my low grades... lol Tuition is climbing every year. First thing I'm doing when I have my first kis is immediately getting one of those school bonds, the ones which lock in tuition rates for your child's future schooling. What are those called? As for the OP I honestly feel you. I currently have a hold on my student account because I owe $200. My Dad will probably help me out, but I honestly feel bad he has too. I'm almost 21 years old and I should have a steady job... Don't give up though. Life gets better. Hopefully someone here would be kind enough to send you the money. I wish I could I don't have a paypal or anything =/ | ||
