Go somewhere cheaper or find richer parents if you don’t want any loans.

I graduated with around $15k in loans, and it’s really not that bad. I paid off one of the $5000 ones as a lump sum with all the money I had saved up during summer jobs and what I earned prior to entering grad school. The rest I’m deferring payment on until I finish grad school since they’re subsidized (one I paid off wasn’t).
