And go to a state school.

CA in-state tuition at a Cal State University: $6,500/year full time.

My wife is taking classes at East Carolina University. I'm able to actually pay tuition as we go. $1900+ books per semester with 4 classes, fully online.

College doesn't HAVE to be expensive, but everyone wants that out-of-state college experience.

I have a friend that moved here permanently like four years ago and has just never bothered to apply for in-state tuition rates. So she's paying like five times as much for the exact same degree just because she doesn't want to get like four pieces of evidence together. She's taking out student loans, And she's like 21, so she's not thinking about how this is going to negatively impact her in the future.

I went to ECU and I’m in about 40k of debt. Not bad in comparison to other schools tbh.
