^Well some us-like me-have really no choice. I dont get ANY financial aid....scholarships are like one in a million-so whats left? Loans-but its worth it though.. im getting a chance to get a great education so thats all that matters.

Yep...i'm doing the loan thing. Last year, i had about a 6 thou in total (a combination of subsidized and unsbusidized). They tried to offer me a 20 thou one to cover everything, but my mom's credit was so shot that she didn't even get approved. I found that to be a postive, cuz it forced us to find other means, instead of being so quick to take the fast cash. I had a few small outside schollies, and other than that...but momma worked overtime like a **** to the cover the rest (bless her heart). And i'm payin on those suckas already, so the interest doesn't go up. It's just a neverending debt trap. This year i'm pretty much in the same predicament...pray for me yall :? .

DAMN!!!! The whole time I'm sittin here feelin like I'm the only broke individual coming from a broke a$$ family trying to go to school and feelin like it's kinda hopeless, money wise. *Stops herself & thinks about what i just said* Well, maybe ya'll ain't said all that but it still helps knowing i ain't the only one lookin at loan debt...

That sounds good ma but a lot of times loans is the only option people (like me :? ) have. I mean beleive me it **** to have to think about the money Im gonna have to pay back and all the interest, but these times im exepeirincing (sp) in college u cant put a price on. So if i have to work my **** off to pay for it....then so be it :wink:
