It's certainly helpful but at the end of the day even if you start your schooling at a community college and then go to a university that is, let's say, 15,000 a year... you'll be 30,000 in debt when all is said and done.(April 5, 2017 at 1:02 pm)AceBoogie Wrote: That's awesome. Over here the standards for receiving grants for free education are insane. They basically expect you to be nearly homeless before they even consider giving you any more. And loans are absolutely ridiculous. It's certainly a broken system.
I thought that California had free tuition, as least for undergraduates.
There are ways to get free schooling but a lot of times the standards for who they consider to be "in need of financial assistance" are a little ridiculous.
If an 18 year old kid wants to go to school but lives with his parents... oh well! Your parents household has too much income for you to be considered in need of assistance, so better tell your parents to pay up.... or take out a loan in your name with ridiculous interest rates. Your choice.
Like I said I'm sure it varies from state to state but in general they basically reserve financial assistance for those that are more or less poor. I'm not saying this is a bad thing, but it leaves those in the lower middle-middle class in quite a precarious position. I'm not sure about any of you guys but my parents couldn't have afforded to send me to a four year university even if I would've wanted to go.
“Love is the only bow on Life’s dark cloud. It is the morning and the evening star. It shines upon the babe, and sheds its radiance on the quiet tomb. It is the mother of art, inspirer of poet, patriot and philosopher.
It is the air and light of every heart – builder of every home, kindler of every fire on every hearth. It was the first to dream of immortality. It fills the world with melody – for music is the voice of love.
Love is the magician, the enchanter, that changes worthless things to Joy, and makes royal kings and queens of common clay. It is the perfume of that wondrous flower, the heart, and without that sacred passion, that divine swoon, we are less than beasts; but with it, earth is heaven, and we are gods.” - Robert. G. Ingersoll
