The Cost of College
In the coming weeks, we'll be asking Washington state residents to tell us about their pay for college.
There are bills in the Legislature that would help - and your representatives need to hear why they would matter.
Here are some ideas to get you thinking:
- I want to go to college, and there is no way I can afford it. My older brother has thousands of dollars in debt. Should I go?
- I'm a young professional who is deep in debt - and I can't find a job.
- I want nothing more than to go to graduate school - but I just can't afford it.
- I'm a sophomore, and I just don't see how I'm going to be able to finish my degree - especially with these tuition raises.
- I'm a parent, and I took out a Parent PLUS loan, and I don't know how I'm going to pay this off.
- I graduated from college and took the one job I was qualified for. Because of my loans, I can't leave, and I hate my job.
