By the time I finish college I will owe $4000, so $1000 per year. I didn't even need to take that loan out but I did so because it's easily manageable and will boost my credit score when I pay it off right away.
Nothing. I'm in my third year but have managed to save enough money for each year's tuition by working during the summer full-time and in the winter part-time. I'll be debt-free by the time I'm done
Zero.
Parents paid for undergrad, got a full tuition scholarship for my Masters prog.
(which was a relief bc one of my acceptances--a T10 school in the country, was gonna leave me with like 150K in debt, crazy, for just a 2-year progra,). Chose the lesser-ranked (but still great) school that gave me incentive+stipend and at least i'll graduate debt-free (unlike everyone else i know)
