Maybe y'all are too young to remember life before TOPS.

I paid for sophomore-senior under grad and then an MBA from working full time while going to school as a "non-traditional" student. Went back at 26

I did. Got TOPS a year later. Didn't even know it was a thing until I got a letter in the mail telling me I was eligible based on ACT.

I had to take out some loans for undergrad and grad school. I worked during undergrad too. I'm not sure how much tuition rates have changed since then, but I know they haven't trended down

I had a grant, small scholarship and a loan.
I want to scream every time I hear or read that someone can't attend college because they don't have the money, can't get a scholarship, no grants or lost tops, etc.

You can get a loan and attend college. frick off with all this can't attend because _______ shite.

Yes. Busted my arse working the whole time and got out in four years to keep the debt to a minimum.
