Can't afford textbooks and materials

Have you thought about selling your car and getting a job as an RA at the school? Then you’d only have tuition and books costs, which your loans should pay. Still ‘babysitting’ but for older guys you can yell at!

I had all kinds of living situations while in college, but I always lived close to school and did not have a car. I took buses, walked, had jobs close to campus. Take different classes if you can’t afford the books. Get a calculator on craigslist, at a pawn shop, from a friend. Find a friend and maybe you can share books (you buy one, he buys a different one, study near each other).

You have some hard choices to make.
