Is it just me or does college rob everyone else of their money too?

hai ms.malibu.iam frm india and the education system here is far different from urs.here a very strict measures will b taken during our school days like doing assingments,mugupping answers whish involves less practical and outdoor experiences.but,in college it is completely different.v here enjoy a lot and at the same time learn more practical a bit.v all here enjoy the college life here and its a dream come true for us.........i wish u too have a good college life.iam new to this mylot and u r the first discussion i hav replied.thanks to to read it patiently{if u read it}comment mw if anythndg wrong in my opinion.bye

Hell yea I stress about money because of school. There are times when I wonder why I even try haha. I work 30+hrs a week, go to school for 16 credits a semester. pay my own rent food bills g/f etc. i feeeeel your painnnn

I have that problem too...College seems to cost so much...The books are oftentimes expensive,there's numerous miscellaneous fees and the tuition fees keep rising!

College is way too expensive. I have a child and family to support and I hate that they keep raising the cost of tuition.

college prices, like the cost of everything else these days, is way too expensive. Unfortunately, to get the kinds of jobs most of us want requires a college degree. Colleges know this, which is why the keep raising their fees. It will pay off in the end, though, so keep at it. Just stay as far away from credit cards as you can. Student loans aren't a bad thing if you need financing. maybe your parents can help you get a loan if you need it? I am about to go back to school myself, and I am 30, so I know what you are saying. Do it now, though, before you get married and have kids. I did it the other way. I was married with a family before I tried to do it, and it was extremely difficult when I went the first time. I am going back to finish my Bachelor's, and I am not looking forward to it. Good Luck...

yeah i can see wat u all are going through i agree that college are becoming way too expensive but in my opinion investing money in education in the best way to spend money.................... it is not only about money , we learn a lot about life, relations ............

I'm preparing to go to college this fall and the cost is not exactly something I like to think of, although it's necessary. I even bought a little magnet to try and lift a bit of the college fund blues..it's a little teddy bear that has a t-shirt on that says, Young & broke..but I still rock! The government complains so much here about not enough teachers, doctors, nurses etc. but what are they doing to lower tuition so it's not so daunting to become a teacher, doctor or nurse???
