See reply above. Now that I can reply directly, I will be more direct. On campus housing + tuition = ~$10000/year $12000/$8/hr = 1500 hours = 30 hours/week for 50 weeks That's frugal, but I wouldn't say incredibly frugal. It's very doable. If the alternative is to live it up and rack $10K debt each year, then complain because you have to pay it back and they won't let you bankruptcy out of it... Maybe you can talk your boss into a $1000 scholarship. Maybe you get some help from Rotary Club. Maybe you can pick up $500 from you department to help pay for textbooks. Every little bit helps. But even without the help, you can pay for college as you go. Or you can sink $50K+/year at an ivy league and think the world owes you when you're done.

I replied to you in the other thread you started - according to one university website I read, you're not estimating the cost by half in that. Even here you're not counting food in your calculation, nor any other money for books or supplies, or any spending money. Also, you're working 30 hours a week basically all year long, that's a lot of work come exam time.

  That figure does count food. And spending money. 30 hours is a lot. Yes. And...? Do you want a great college education? Without debt? Without work? Without sacrifice? I can't help you. But if you are willing to work, and sacrifice a little, I can help you. Many prefer to rack up huge debt, then complain about it.
