It doesn’t have to be thousands and thousands of dollars per semester. You would have to attend some of the most expensive schools in the country and take out loans for tuition, room, and board to get to $150k in debt.
Find a community college with a credit transfer agreement. Take your undergrad courses and then transfer. I used to live in Dallas and DCCCD charges $59 per credit hour in 2020. You can then finish the remaining 60 hours at a school such as UNT for a total of $24,000. Total spend of around $27,500.
And Dallas is on the expensive side as far as cities in Texas.
- gowld 7y agoRoom and board can be $80K/4yrs before you even look at tuition. Expensive schools are over $150k/4yrs in tuition alone.
