Living on campus for California State is 13K.
Live at home and commute.
If you want to go go and find away.
Thousands of people do it and are fine. It is hard but can be done.
I am just getting sick of people whining about every flipping thing.
I can understand that. I get tired of people whining about every freakin’ thing too.
California seems to have an awesome college set up. If we lived in CA, that would be great. But we don’t.
I also think if one wants to attend college, one will find a way. It’s hard but it’s possible.
We’ve put some money aside for college, not a lot but some, certainly not anything near one year’s tution for all four kids.
I think what some of us, or at least me, complain about is we’re not the right color or ethnicity or legal status, so we don’t get all those special scholarships, etc.
Now, I have a daughter who is planning on majoring in engineering...if she were a boy, even with her gpa, SAT scores, competitive athletics, various clubs, NHS, etc., she’d get less financially than what she’s going to get just because she’s a girl majoring in engineering.
Life is tough for everyone. It’s especially tough for those of us who pay their own way.
