Online colleges are far cheaper, you should look into those. Then after 2 years and an associates degree you can get some better jobs and go to the physical college. It's what I'm going to do, at least what I plan to do. Looking into software design because it's one of the most high paying jobs, and even a standard coder can work for a video gaming industry, seeing as how proof-reading is all the same, and you don't have to do the hard work of crunching numbers and variables to make a character model, just programming in the quests once they're made and compiling it into a game, ready to be shipped out and then streamed on gaming sites.

@Irony: University of Regina

UBC and UC are cheaper. U of T is like $15 more a course or something. Absolutely brutal considering how poor a lot of profs are

I applied to one university when I was a HS senior. Online (free) application, got accepted. You really don't need to go overkill on applying to so many schools. And...

"so far I blew more than $1.5k (almost my entire bank)"

So what the heck are you going to do once you actually have to pay for classes and books?

Sounds like my sister, except $1000 was for applying just to 2 universities in Japan. She got into both of them and is attending one of them now.

[quote=cKdisciple]I don't know why you're posting this online because you look terribly foolish. There's no sense in applying to that many colleges when you're only going to one.[/quote]

it's good to apply to a lot of schools as back up in case you don't get into your first choice

No point in getting into a "good" college if paying away your life.

my cousin spent about $500 on it and when i asked her why, she told me that getting into all of them would mean that she's smart enough

i spent under $100 because i only applied to three schools and i'm cheap

Then don't apply to so many schools.

Did you seriously apply to 20 colleges?
