paying for college
I want to go to a 4 year school but Im worried about being able to pay for it and I dont want to have student loans for the rest of my life. I'm a senior in high school so I need to figure out what I'm going to do soon. my parents want me to go to a community college, but I don't want to. I would much rather go to a university. I need advice on what to do.

check to see if there are state schools where you live. in massachusetts, many students are able to attend to 4 year universities for almost nothing due to In-State tuition, scholarships, and money from the school itself. staying in your state, even close to your hometown, can save lots!
I'm unsure if this will be useful, but you can sign up for scholarships. You are eligible for many scholarships you likely haven't heard of. You can buy many resources online or books to see what would fit you.

Community college is a good choice because it can save you money while still offering quality education for the first two years, and you can transfer to a university later.
