Guest maantecaaa!!! Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 (edited) NYU is going to be crazy expensive, but the program is awesome and I really need this opportunity to move into a different career. The thought of a *likely* loan that's at least 60k is giving me the chills. BUT, I know I'll be getting paid more than I am now (in technical support) and i'm primarily concerned with actually enjoying what I do for work. IMO, there's nothing worse than going through life feeling like a wage slave. I'm freaking out over heeah! :omg: Any advice about these college fees/loans? Edited March 11, 2009 by maantecaaa!!!

J3FF3R00 Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 I went to NYU for film as and undergrad transfer and racked up about 70 Gs for 2.5 years. No help from my parents. Get used to banks calling you every Sunday at 7am for the rest of your life.

six Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Yup, if you go to a private Uni in America you are going to get ass raped. I got 75K in scholarships and that only covered half of my 4 year program. Also, congrats, NYU and NYC are both super awesome.

Guest idrn Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 education is only for rich people because being rich in the first place means you're smart. if you're poor you're probably genetically stupid so don't need education anyway. if you disagree you're probably some kind of communist.

Alzado Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 yeah, dude who are touting your country's free education. it's not really free. you just pay for it collectively rather than requiring the people who go to school to pay their own way. if you never went to school, don't plan to and have a moral objection to education, you're still paying for other people to go to school. not saying our system is better, but you can't act like "omg i go to school for free and it will never cost me anything." not true.

Exactly - and when the system is like that, not only are you not saddled with enormous debt that impedes your lifestyle, but because more people are educated, they contribute more to society, thus raising the standard of living for everyone, making life easier, etc. It's a wonderful circle I wish the US would adopt as soon as possible.

I'm not criticizing it, I'm just saying it's not true that your education is free. you pay for it (and then some) over the course of your taxable life time. It's just evenly distributed.
