Basically my options were buckets of student loans to go to UO or I could get my bachelors at another Oregon school for less than 1/4 of the cost and be able to work my way through, only taking student loans when needed to fill the gaps.
Thus why I have my degree but only about $14,000 of debt vs enough to buy a C7Z  |
Louisiana has a program called TOPS and Florida has it too (Bright Futures) and the government covers your tuition as long as you maintain a 2.5 gpa. But everything else isn't covered.
