Books averaged about $150. I received a $500 scholarship, work study, and a federal grant for $1100. I lived at home, and managed to get through at the end of the day without any loans. many of my friends living on campus racked up some hefty paybacks. My parents bought my books, and let me use their car to get there. I always worked. Even with inflation, the burden on students today to pay for their education has gone up exponentially. Congratulations for sticking with it. You won't regret it, loans or no loans. That piece of paper will provide you with better job options throughout your life.

My scholarships cover it, but I haven't added in living expenses (rent!) nor books. Tuition has gone up every single year I've been here and shows no sign of stopping.

Wow, your tuition is exceptionally low (compare to others). I just graduated this past Sunday, what a feeling. Congrats on your last semester of college, so what are you going to do afterward?
