Question

As I wrote, I'm 24 years old, and I'm going to be in college for a semester longer then my parents are willing to pay for. What should I do, i don't have much of a savings account, and have counted on my parents to cover most of my expenses, aside from getting a job( which i already doing) how can I pay my bills for school?

Answer 1

Start checking into student loans

Answer 2

student loans to pay off for the rest of your life and oh... a second job...  millions are doing it and living through the same situation every day, just fine.

Answer 3

take out a loan like most everyone else!  Way past time for you to depend on you and not your parents!!!

Answer 4

Student loans

Answer 5

you will qualify as an independent student on the FAFSA, if you were born before 1-1-84.

Or if you are married, veteran, grad student, have dependents...

Answer 6

wow take out a loan... im 20 and have been paying for school the entire time. its doable.

Answer 7

Loans are a definite option!

Answer 8

Work your way through school. Get a job or take loans.

Answer 9

Go and see your school/college councilor. There is bound to be some kind of advisor who can tell you what to do. There is a pretty good chance that there are burseries out there that can help out, extraordinary loans or deferments of payments.

Or, and no one wants to hear this... a second job, your educations worth the cost.

Answer 10

Go for a student loan, most of the time you don't even have to pay them back until after a few months after you graduate.  I'd shop around a few banks near you. Personally, I would try the bank that you already have the account with because sometimes that will give you a little bit of an advantage.  Be very careful of the online applications if you decide to try those.  I did FAFSA, and i think its still possible to submit even though its late.  Good luck!

Answer 11

loans are a good idea if you are serious about studying .

the american families are like that. I dont like the american materialistic life.

Answer 12

sperm bank!

Answer 13

Student Loans are like your only option!

Answer 14

While I agree with the viewers who have given their comments, I feel, you should take yr parents in confidence and impress them that yr further studies will definitely generate dividends  i n due course.  If they are not convinced, the option of getting loans for yr higher studies are always open.

All the best.
