More crazy nutty student debt...

Go tell that to a student with 80 or 90 credits that transferring is an option when most schools require 60 in-house semester hours. Matter of fact the school I attended created scholarships just to keep such students in school.

And again, I would like to point out that it's a choice. If you're 90 credits into a program at Morehouse, and it's $26,000 for Tuition and fees plus another $13k in room & board for a year, you're looking at $39k.

You could transfer back to your local college, and it would be closer to $8000 for tuition and fees and no room and board (assuming that you lived with your parents and went to the average-cost state university). If you could transfer all of your credits, you would save $$31k. Even if you couldn't, and it would take you an additional year to finish, you would still save $23k.

All I want to continue to say is it's all about the choices we make.
