Cheap College Education

Where is it possible to get a good college education for less money? -- Limited Funds
Answer: Start by investigating local colleges so you eliminate the cost of room and board. There are other reasonably priced options. Consider completing college in three years instead of four. Think of attending a community college that has an arrangement with a four-year college for the smooth transfer of credits. And don't overlook the possibility of taking courses online or even attending an online school. You also will find that tuition can vary considerably between public four-year instate schools. Also, on the plus side, many colleges are increasing financial-aid packages.
Remember to look into other options like ROTC. The military pays for you to go to school, and in return you will serve in the military or reserves for a certain number of years. You also should investigate state and federal loan-forgiveness programs that require you to work in a specific area or for an organization for a number of years. And do look at the possibility of getting a scholarship.
