Reply #10: paid tuition [View All]

You can find a lot of jobs on campus that pay/waive your tuition (I'm "working" at mine right now, so you can guess how challenging many of them are). If your going as an undergrad to a university, run for their student govt. If you hang around DU, you're obviously politically-minded, so it's a natural. Most jobs involving student level admin pay at least a lot of your tuition (if not all), and often students don't want them. If that's not the route you want, look around that area anyway. As someone else mentioned, you can make the contacts to find you positions that pay everything (and often even a montly stipend). Having graduated (currently a grad student), I learned on-campus stuff is the way to go: it's way easier and usually has much more flexable hours.

Also, if you are returning, you can usually redefer (if that's the word for defering again) you outstanding loans until you leave college again.
