Help Paying for School - Page 2

Also, find out if you can take more classes at your community college that will transfer over. At first for my degree I thought I could only transfer 4 semesters worth of classes, but later I found out I could keep taking classes at the community college. I was able to take these classes over the summer and transferred them (so I ended up with 5 semesters worth of community college credits) and then only paid for only 3 semesters at the university, which saved me about $6k.

Good luck!

I also saved up while at cc since i would be taking so many classes at the university and was only able to work 25-30 hours.
It sucks, but it can be done. After graduation i got a job which pays for my master's in full.... So its a struggle when youre in school but it gets much better after graduation, so dont give up!

Thats insane taking 6-7 classes. Thats a heavy semester while working. Thats amazing that you did that. you're a success story and motivation to students who are still in school. Thanks, I won't quit. How were you able to pay for your university tuition? Did you take out private loans? If you did what interest did you get it at? What loan company would you recommend?
