Ohio tuition is among the highest in the nation. It's cheaper for Ohio residents to pay out of state tuition in Kentucky than stay at home.

I'm doing grad work at Univ. of Akron. It's make the beast with two backsing expensive.

There is something that people do while in school.  It's called Part Time Job.

Also, grants & scholarships can really cut into tuition costs.

For me it made going to an out of state private school cheaper than staying at a state school I could drive to.

[Popeye the Sailor]

How is that even possible?

I'll pick a random state school here in ohio........doesn't matter which one.

15,000$ per year


That is 60k dollar for four years


Where did they get the other 38k?

Idk, I thought that number was kind of low. Then again, my school was over 34k/year.

That, my good man, is truly INCREDIBLE!

Danielle is finishing up at Fresno Pacific (private christian college) Total cost was around 28k ( 2 years JC, 2 years at FPU)

total of loans after grants 5K

At first I didn't think their cost for college was realistic either but now that I've looked at it, they don't seem that far off. At Cal Poly, the fees are 2k a quarter now. So, assuming no summer school, that's 3 quarters a year for 4 years. That's already 24k not counting rent. Let's say you've got a room for $500/mo. You're in school 9mo/year and let's be generous and give you $100/mo for food and then $50 on utilities is a little on the cheap side. That's almost another 24k for living expenses. So just under $50k for 4 years of school. Still far less than $120k. Some people's only purpose in life is to serve as an example to others. Sad, but true. She is one such example. The lesson to learn is self discipline and responsibility. In a worst case scenario like hers, you can ruin the lives of everyone in your family because you make the beast with two backsed up.

Yes, I am aware of that concept. However, part time job goes to pay for books, lodging, and cost of living (beer, food, gas, etc).

I knew a lot of people on loans and their part time jobs went to those expenses..........not the actual tuition cost.

I agree. Ohio State is not cheap for in-state residents. Is Univ of Akron state or private? by the way, why have we not had beers yet?

However, I came from Indiana.

I want to say IU is around 16k a year for residents..........

When I was in college, my 30 hr a week part time job paid for my living expenses, rent, food, and books.  There was no money left over to pay down the tuition.

at least you got those in the correct order.

It's the cheapest in-state public (state) school (or was a couple years ago - I'm afraid to look anymore). Of course my bill seems to go up by 50% with FEES in addition to tuition. I'm helping to fund a new stadium that will be used 6 times a year. Let's talk RETURN ON INVESTMENT! I've also taken classes at Kent, but done it THROUGH Akron and saved about $400 because KSU is more money.

When I was undergrad, I didn't drink at all because I couldn't afford it. I even rode a bicycle because I couldn't afford the $1.50 a gallon for gas. I still have loans to pay. 

I'm having a beer right now - what's your excuse? But seriously, if you can put up with an ultra lefty, I'll stop by and drink your beers.

[Speedbag]

I am so glad I worked and made it through college with no loans. It was six years of hell with no breaks like everyone else had (other than the drinking  ), but it was worth it.

I can't imagine having student loans to pay forever. Like it's not tough enough to keep up at times for most folks, including myself - and I rarely eat out, have a minimalist POS flip cell phone, etc. Then again, I own everything I have except my house (and hopefully I can kill that debt in a decade). I guess a lot of it's discipline, not to mention having parents that didn't live beyond their means and knowing the concept of saving from an early age.

[redxblack]

I'll be paying my loans back when my kid is in college, and I didn't borrow excessively at all. I'm only just now STARTING to get on my feet financially, and it feels really foreign.

Someone was telling me they had to pay over $300 for an economics text book and decided it wasn't worth it. I think that should be an automatic A in that course.

You can drink my beers, tree hugger. However, I am not buying you that micro hoppy IPA shit.

Can we settle on Jim Beam?

I don't mind ultra left wingers. You guys are fun to make the beast with two backs with  . Just watch out for my wife, she has been known to express her ultra right opinion.

or

we could just bullshit about bikes and life.

at least you got those in the correct order. 

I know, I had to think about it for a second.........actually not really. I didnt even plan it that way, I think it was a sub conscious deal.

Someone was telling me they had to pay over $300 for an economics text book and decided it wasn't worth it. I think that should be an automatic A in that course.

I paid around 385$ once for a new edition Financial Management text book.

That was a painful purchase.


My junior and senior years at butler as a Finance major........

I spent no less than 650$ a semester on text books

(only 3 semesters........I studied abroad first semester senior year. I didn't buy any books during that 3.5 mons of living in Ireland enjoying life)

She should have gone to CCAC, it's way less and sounds more like something she could handle. She's an idiot. She will get what she deserves. Too bad it will have serious negative affects on those around her - kid, Grandma, father, etc.
