Which School did YOU go to BG?

[Senoska]

I never needed to have a cosigner. I'm over 25, for one, and two, my credit was just somehow always good enough.

ITT: normal students, not people who started when they were 22 or are graduate students.

Good stuff. I went to USP (we protect you from west philly) for 2 years, decided I wanted to leave, and ended up at WCU to finish my BS. I currently work for Merck as an biochemist, but I've gotta wait a year before they'll start paying for my grad courses.

That'll hopefully give me some time to decide what I want to end up doing for my PhD

Nice, my girlfriend got contracted to Merck for a while to do some small animal handling stuff, she loved it there and it sounds like a great place to work. Good luck with the PhD decision, I know a lot of people who've been in industry for a time before going to grad school, looking back I kind of wish I had gone that route as I think they were better prepared than most and they tend to develop projects and graduate quicker.

i think ~10k/semester
id say 30 min down rt 208/4 to NYC

University of Alabama - i went through GI Bill...so i only paid for last year of school.

fiance got a bio degree from Pitt and a zoo tech degree from Sante Fe C.C. in FL...she has about 50-60k in school loans she's paying back now. definitely look at the area you're gonna go to school and think about part time jobs and things of that nature...unless you're going to live off your school loans, which i really wouldn't recommend.

Roll Tide. What year?

The school is only ten years old, so the campus looks really nice, and the student base has already reached, 10,000. I've heard it's becoming one of the top business schools in the state, but I'm not too sure on that because I'm not a business major.

I went to NKU for a semester. Nice school if you like concrete.

[Norelco]

Wow, didn't think there'd be another Geneseo grad on this board. I do miss the girl:guy ratio, I do not miss walks across the tundra (before they put housing in there that is).

At UPenn now for grad school, should be finishing up this summer and moving on to the NIH.

My senior year (2001-2002) was the first year those Townhouses were put in. I lived on the one closest to (Erwin/Frasier?) Don't remember the building names.

How can you not get a cosigner?

[Deadmeat]

How do you guys pay for your schooling? So far I've been living with my mom(jokes aside.) and only had to pay tuition and whatnot. Next semester I gotta pay for housing and a bunch of other shit (SUP 30k A YEAR) and obviously FAFSA won't cover that amount and I need to take private loans. The problem is I have no one that can co-sign. How'd you fags do it?

I got a Financial aid loan and my parents paid for my undergraduate. I think my financial aid loan was like 26k. I took out a loan to pay for my graduate degree. I got a job my last 3 years at school to pay for housing and stuff.

Two reasons:

My dad broke his neck and my mom crushed 3 disks in her neck. Both are currently unemployed, my mother recently.

ouch

have any credit already? credit card, co-signed on car loan, anything of the sort? If you're old enough and have those, you may not need a co-signer. I think I had to get my student loans co-signed since I was 17 at the time, but when I got my recent car I was able to sign by myself with just student loan credit being present.

Pretty much hate you =(

Beatiful area, great school. Wish I could have went.

If it makes you feel any better, I spent my first year in this shithole:

http://llnw.image.cbslocal.com/0/200...rsity_logo.jpg

During my interview I told them my GPA and SAT scores, and the interviewer gave me a full-ride scholarship on the spot. He said they had a great art program, so I said "sure, why not?"

I realized later they gave me a full ride because the place is packed with jock morons and whores. Need some smart kids to even things out a bit. After 2 semesters, I was gone. Hated every minute there.

I got $40k in portfolio scholarships, $30k for SAT scores (SCAD gives both of these out to students) the GTEG (georgia tuition equalization grant) is Ga's way of giving the HOPE scholarship to people that go to private schools (HOPE pays all tuition and materials costs for public schools provided you're a Ga resident, and keep above a 3.0 GPA) GTEG gave me another $5k a year. I got another $10k from a Ford scholarship for ASE certified mechanics.

FAFSA took care of the rest, and I worked 45 hours a week as a mechanic at around $18/hr. I also had 4 room-mates, so bills were low(ish)
