Paying For College

The saying "Money doesn't grow on trees" is a saying that I have heard multiple times in my life. The thing is many colleges cost a lot to attend. For some people it is impossible to go to school without leaving with a lot of debt. Many will be paying off this debt for twenty plus years. The articles we read for the paying for college group was very informative about how a majority of college students in the present time cannot leave college without debt. When deciding on colleges where to go depends a lot on the cost of that particular school. For me I was told from the beginning that I was only allowed to go to states school because of how much it cost to get into out of state schools. I knew I only had a couple of choices so I looked at cost and then majors when I saw Southern had my major I was really excited and that's how I ended up coming to SCSU. I was lucky enough though that from the time I was born my grandmother put away money for me weekly to ensure that I would be able to get a proper education. This was very important to her and she set up the funds in a way that they were only able to go towards college. I still will be coming out of school with some debt but not they full tuition in debt. This article has made me realize the financial aspect if school because I have never truly thought about the cost and how expensive it is to attend a university.
