This student is currently in college, these are her answers to the questions.

1) Yes, it took my mom a long time to pay off her student loans so that is something that worries me too.

2) Yes, a lot of out of state schools I avoided because I knew the tuition prices were a huge difference compared to in state prices.

3) Yes, I got a part time job at starbucks, and occasionally it can be hard to manage, since my workload constantly fluctuates and some weeks will be worse than others. 

4) Well, my mayor is pretty broad so I honestly dont know what type of job I will get after college, so I definitely worry that I wont find a steady job to pay off my loans.

5) I didn't apply for any external scholarships, which I probably should have but it was hard to find some that I qualified for.

6)  It has  not really affected my family at all.

7)  My mom and I together pay about $1500 every semester which definitely has taken its toll, since we do it for the sole purpose of not having to have a ton of loans to worry about later in life. Paying less for college  would definitely allow me to try for grad school, and it would allow me to not have to worry about paying for college versus making the most out of the experience and opportunities.
