Paying for college

College expenses rack up faster than you realize. You not only have to pay for courses, but tack on your books, rent, food, entertainment, and other intangibles and the yearly numbers for one student could fund a Third World Army battalion. I'm still paying off Student Loans
a few years out, which is not uncommon at all. Here is an article from MySanAntonio.com abut how high prices are keeping many out of higher education, especially in our current economic climate.
One thing prospective and current students can do to influence their public leaders is to get out and vote. Secondly, they can write letters.
You can also take online courses and find many resources right here. Not only are online courses cheaper, you can also shape your program more flexibly to be able to work and live -- choose when you study online.
So get out and vote in the next election. And try some online classes while you are at it. It is YOUR dollar paying for your education, not the State's, not the teachers and educators. The more students choose alternative options at prices more afforable to them, the more chances there will be to bring prices down at the larger universities.
