Cost of College


Question Posted Wednesday September 14 2005, 4:18 pm

What is the average cost of college? I'm in 10th grade, and I have to pay college on my own, like my parents aren't helping, and I was wondering what the average price is for a private college, and the average for a community college. If anybody has been through with college (recently) could you please tell me what college and how much money it cost?
Thank you! :)

Also, when I get a job (when I get my drivers liscense) would it be smart to save up some of the money (take like 1/3 of it) and save it for college, or would it really not amount to anything and not be worth it in the end? Thank's again!

Going to college is expensive, anywhere from about 30,000 to 50,000 is about normal. It depends on your program of study as well as if you go to a community school or a private one. It is significantly cheeper if you live at home while you attend. (You'll save about 4,000 a year or more by living at home)

I saved half of every pay check I ever got to go towards my education and I still needed to take out loans and apply for scholarships.

Save every penny you get, it makes your life way easier if you can avoid massive amounts of debt.

College can cost anywhere from $20,000-$40,000+. Few people can afford it, so that's why there are student loans. I will probably be paying off my student loans until I am 30, but the interest is less than 3%, so it's not that big of deal.

Saving money is a smart idea anytime. I wish I hadn't wasted my money on clothes and CDs when I was in highschool. I could have used the money for a car and funishings for my apartment!
