The Economic Crisis
Will it affect your schooling?

I'm looking to transfer next year to a school that's, unfortunately, just under $30,000 a year (not by much). My parents, being the happy and chipper people that they are, are continuously making the point that I very well may not be able to go there because of 1) The university only offers need-based aid to transfer students and 2) because of the economic crisis, banks may not be willing to provide me with a loan of that size. They keep telling me about the articles they're reading that say that students who live in New York are rapidly moving from their expensive private schools to the cheaper public schools (the SUNY system) because of the possibility that they're not going to be able to pay if they can't receive loans and the country doesn't rise up from this slump.

So that's a bummer for me.

But! Is the economic crisis going to affect where you go to school? Or no?

Possibly, since I'm considering going to America.

probably not. My father is a plumber, and plumbers are always needed.

Nope.  My parents have enough in the bank to pay my entire tuition with cash.  I kind of lucked out though.  I'm at a fantastic school, Cal Poly, that is really pretty cheap.  I'm only paying about 10k a year for food, living and tuition.  But at the same time, I'm in one of the top engineering programs the country has to offer.
