Chris: Which colleges are you applying to?

Marcella: None. I can’t afford to go to college. Even if I lived at home, Tuition, fees, and books are just too expensive.

Chris: You could apply for Financial aid.

Marcella: I don’t want to get a bunch of Loans and be In debt for the next 10 to 20 years. It’s not worth it.

Chris: Loans aren’t so bad, especially ones that are federally Subsidized. Apart from that, you could get Need-based grants or Work-study. Put all of that together and college can be Affordable.

Marcella: I don’t want to go into debt of any kind.

Chris: You could go to a Community college and Transfer to a four-year university after two years. Community college tuition is much lower.

Marcella: But who has the time? I have to work full-time to pay my bills.
