Unconventional ways of paying for college

<p>The rising cost of college has gotten me thinking about “alternative” or “unconventional” ways of paying for college (other than scholarships).</p>

<p>Personally, I RA’ed for 2.5 years and graduated a semester early.</p>

<p>What other ways have you all been able to pay for college?</p>

<p>What are the benefits of RA’ing? I’m really that familiar with it.</p>

<p>It depends on the school, but at Wake Forest University you get your room paid for and a $3,300/year stipend. Not a bad deal.</p>

<p>^^ Generally, free room and board or a very significant discount.</p>
