Pretty much if you go to a public college you will most likely be in debt by $15,000, if you go to a good public college you should be able to pay that off in a couple of years because of the salary you will be making.

You should go to another state like NY to attend college. CUNY and SUNY schools are about $5,000-$6,000 a year. YAYYY! Some of those colleges are great: CUNY Baruch (I want to go there and I will trust me I will lol), CUNY Hunter, SUNY Stony Brook, SUNY Binghamton (public ivy league), SUNY Buffalo. Eruption92 Posted at 1:05 pm on June 30, 2009 I'm 17. mtgirl118 Posted at 12:52 pm on June 30, 2009 I'm going to be a junior this fall and I just looked at 5 colleges, mainly because this was the only time I had to visit them due to sports. It's never too early. Start deciding what kind of college you want (small/large, big city/small town, ect) as pixie051308 said. This will help narrow down your search. pixie051308 Posted at 8:16 am on June 30, 2009 How old are you? Well actually it's never to early to start looking at colleges. Do your research now so you can at least know what you want in a college. Small or large, in a small town or big city, etc. Eruption92 Posted at 3:05 am on June 30, 2009 Thats a good idea. newmie66 Posted at 6:01 pm on June 29, 2009 It's never a bad idea to start thinking about where you want to go. I didn't start seriously considering schools until the beginning of my junior year when I met with a college counselor. Eruption92 Posted at 1:13 pm on June 29, 2009 I know that. You get rejected sometimes. I was generalizing that I could try getting into there if I wanted to. Sorry that I wasn't corrective on words. chelseamorgan Posted at 1:10 pm on June 29, 2009 Quote: from Eruption92 at 3:01 pm on June 29, 2009 My mother can only afford to send me to a community college. And I have A's and B's, so I could get into Harvard if I wanted to. Lol just because you have A's and B's doesn't mean you'll get into Harvard. Eruption92 Posted at 1:09 pm on June 29, 2009 Community college is mostly free if you live in the town the college is in. You'd just have to pay for books and stuff, thats about it. sweetheart 10 Posted at 1:07 pm on June 29, 2009 i have started, and in the fall im going to be a senior so yeah i would, you can get some money! lol Eruption92 Posted at 1:06 pm on June 29, 2009 Alot of my medical history is disqualifying, thats why. easley6 Posted at 1:04 pm on June 29, 2009 yes Italianlnm Posted at 1:01 pm on June 29, 2009 Yes..
