It's not. Just get a government backed loan and hope they forgive the debt.

At least it seems that is the way it works now. I had to take semesters off to work and pay for that shite.

I work in higher education and you'd be surprised how many college students have to work long hours to pay for their degree, yet still want to be babied and don't take responsibility for their education. It's quite shocking.

Another thing that shocked me was how, at my institution at least, how if something goes wrong and the student doesn't graduate on time, it's primarily the advisor's fault as opposed to the student's fault. So, it's also partially the school's fault that the kids expect to be babied.

I know when I was in undergrad, I was constantly checking my degree progress to make sure I was getting my education done in a timely manner. I occasionally saw my advisor, but I certainly wasn't dependent on my advisor to tell me exactly what to do.
