This is for any current or former AA students. How are you paying for your school? I've researched looking for any scholarships, or other options besides loans. I'm just curious how others are approaching this?
Current student. I'm taking out federal student loans for everything. It may be very tempting to go private and look at that shiny interest rate, but the downside terrifies me, so I'll stick with the relative stability of federal loans and just pay them off aggressively.
I'm not a current or former student, but I start school in May. I don't think there are many options beyond loans unless you happen to have tremendous savings or very generous parents who also happen to have tremendous savings. I'm looking forward to some solid debt. Good luck!
