I was dependant on myself, until I couldn`t do it anymore, three years down the drain!!

I was married when I was in college and so I worked part time, took out loans and struggled but I did it.

I had a scholarship, but my parents also paid the costs of my education.

My parents paid for my first two years tuition, and sometimes helped me out with utility bills in those years. After that, I was on my own and paid the tuition, accomodation, and all those lovely costs with loans and working in restaurants and clubs.

I paid for it all by myself. I was a big girl.

My parents paid it, and I busted my butt so I could have and drive a car, get things I wanted and needed (not for school), etc.

I paid my own way and worked a full time job while attending college full time.

No parental help, for the money at least..

Self-funded, no one in the family was in a position to help out.

I was a butt-buster, my parents could not afford to pay for any of us four kids.

I got state grants and some student loans and I'm doing it all myself, butt busting is occurring right now *lol*

Neither. Uncle Sam and the US military covered it.

No I don't get any help from my parents. I go to school with scholarships and financial aid.

misbehaved badly in school. So came to college as a mature student on release from work part time. Did Dip Ed, Dip sw. Psychology A level nights. Post Qualifying couse as a part time student in my own time. Still studying. Perpetual student, thats me!

A little of both, I'm paying for about a third of it now and my parents cover the balance of each semester. I am and will be paying them back for some time but it helps me to borrow from them (they won't charge interest or late fees) and they don't mind because they offered to just pay for my education anyway but I didn't feel right accepting that when it would only take a little sacrifice for me to pay for it myself in just a few years.

The company for whom I worked paid my tuition for college. It was a wonderful benefit of my employment with that company. I paid for graduate and law school.

Do you think Parents should pay for the kids to go to college, or should the kids pay themselves through loans and FA?

I feel the same way. I don't think I could ever get back into the mindset I was in while in college. Thank you moonchild.;-)
