Will need an update

I’m so sorry this Happened to you. This is extremely traumatizing. My sister has a similar experience with a dating app. I wanted her to persue charges but she wouldn’t. Some guys just want easy sex but there are definitely predators on there. Disturbing

Glad you dug up some numbers. It probably includes the dorm and fees associated with living on campus. Either way… my graduate (masters) degree costs about 45,000 a year and I live off of loans at approximately 12,000 a year. Still less than the undergraduate degree. Better question what is the expected income of students graduating from there? Are there enough financial aid options to make it worth it?

It is mind blowing. It’s all about prestige. No thanks. unless you has strong ties with potential employers paying tons of money, or are going to the school tuition free it is not worth it.

First of all, talk to your financial aid office. There is a way to file independent, but there are criteria for that. I think there is a way to link your parents tax info electronically. Secondly, pursue all grant and scholarship options. You’ll need it. 67,000 a year is more than the graduate degree I am currently pursuing. Lastly,depending on the the job you have in mind when you graduate I would easily say 300k is too much for an undergraduate degree. I have friends who went to very expensive schools and lived with crippling debt after the fact. I’m assuming there are kids out there with ties to people that can get them a job that would be worth that. I wasn’t one of those. In my opinion there is almost no point in going to an overly expensive school for certain career pursuits (nursing for example). I see these schools as traps for young people, who don’t. Feel free to ask more questions if you like. The end game is to have a solid degree and minimal debt.
