Title: I wish I wasn't poor.
Post by: Daddy on June 08, 2007, 06:37:42 PM
I was accepted to UAT(one of the top schools for Game Programming), since I'm poor I can't afford it even if I were to take 7,000 dollars in loans, receive 5000 dollars from my parents, get 10,000 in financial aid(which wouldn't happen), and work 30 hours a week.


Because of this I opted to go to Salem State College, with the possibility of transferring in 2 years.  I don't have to pay tuition because I got scholarship for it(instate tuition isn't much though)


Here are the costs

Tuition     455.00
All College Fee    2530.00
Student Government Fee    30.00
Health Insurance (waivable) full-year    1204.00
Dormitory (Peabody or Bowditch)    2264.00
Breakage Fee    50.00
Meal Plan/14 meals per week    1295.00
Total     7828.00

Now let me see what I would have to pay.

Tuition     455.00
All College Fee    2530.00
Student Government Fee    30.00
Health Insurance (waivable) full-year    1204.00
Dormitory (Peabody or Bowditch)    2264.00 (I live 5 minutes away--walking.  I'm not paying for a dorm)
Breakage Fee    50.00
Meal Plan/14 meals per week    1295.00

I'd only be paying $5109

If I were to take health insurance off(I can get it from either one of my parents. My dad's job provides it and my mom is a teacher so her job provides it) It would be 3905.   I could get it even lower if I took the meal plan off, but I'm a hungry boy so I'm going to leave that.

lol Cheap college for the poor white kid.Boyah should start a scholarship in my name.  GOGOGOGO

edit:Note, that's only one semester, The whole year would be about 7810, which is still cheap.
