How do you prepare for the costs associated with college? Prepare to move away from home? Prepare mentally for academic challenges? This is a great article, thanks edvadmin!!

Beyond tuition, there are a lot of costs associated with college. Even if you got a great federal financial aid package you will probably need extra money for college.

This is true! Working two jobs does not sound fun though :-/ Always keep in mind there are scholarships! You can join http://www.scholarshippoints.com to earn entries into monthly drawings -- their final $10,000 drawing for 2010 is Decemeber 15th.

It's all a part of the growing up scene in life though - Not everything can be fun in your life anymore - two jobs might be necessary. One thing that helps me though is to work mostly in the summer so that in the fall, winter, and spring semesters work isn't as crucial during school. Plus, this helps you to better focus on what you're trying to learn. Have a great one!
