How do I afford college??
I’m Middle Class, and I’m in the grey zone of not rich enough to go to college and get little aid. I do have the GI Bill but will only pay for a year (maybe even less due to family issues). I really, really don’t want to take out loans and am willing to do just about anything to not take them out. I’m not exactly the smartest so I’m not sure if I should even apply to the ones offered by the University. I’ve applied to multiple scholarships to no avail. And right now looking at around 1-2 (possibly more) years of college that I will have to pay out of pocket (\~35K a year).
I’m considering going to a cheaper college than transferring, or just going straight to the college of my choice ( University of Oklahoma or Oklahoma State, Spring 2027(I’m not sure if that matters)). I’m not completely sure of transferring since I know it’s hard and a majority of students never end up transferring.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated, I’m very desperate and stressed out about this, thank you for reading!
