<p>Wowie, take out loans to pay for it. 7,000 is nothing compared to the 40,000 I couldn’t even bear to think of taking out. 40,000 is already a hefty amount to pay for only ONE year’s worth at BU, let alone 40,000 EVERY year. $160,000 is a incredibly large debt to encounter graduating college alone.</p>
<p>Economically struggling? My dad’s been unemployed for 2 years, my mom has been a homemaker for the last 18 years, and we still have my two younger siblings to take care of. My parents couldn’t pay for my 6 APs, even after getting a fee reduction for them (I had to settle for 3 and that alone was bad). I already gave up thinking of going to BU and now I am already looking at my prospects elsewhere, with money first priority over everything else, considering no way are my parents taking out a single loan to pay for my college education when they can barely support the family.</p>
<p>I am on my own. Be fortunate you aren’t.</p>
