Reply to comment by Frizzy_Bee in Is it possible (or rather, realistic) for a broke 25 year old to (assuming he gets in) attend URI without incurring a single penny of debt? by PinkSwallowLove

I assume the person who wrote this post was talking about attending URI without having to pay a dime, which isn’t realistic unless they hit the jackpot with scholarships or join the military. And even if they do get aid, a few grand a semester isn’t cheap with a part-time job that pays minimum wage. Tuition costs at that school have also probably gone up a lot since you first went there.

OP says savings from work so assuming he was willing to work a job.

It isn’t easy to do, but it’s doable. If you’re willing to sacrifice on partying and focus on work and school you can definitely do it

I don’t go to parties, drink, or smoke weed and the shit still isn’t easy without taking out loans or ending up in debt. Know it might be surprising, but not everyone lives the way you think they do.
