Oh, great. Our kid was accepted two years ago at SDSU, too, but the nursing program is “impacted” and there’s a three-year waiting list. Goes to a private college in CA, big merit scholarship but we are tapped out after paying for the first two years. The kid will be a junior in the fall. Withougt student loans…sunk. Any advice appreciated.

It’s not clear – are you saying your kid is going to finish up at SDSU? If so, have your kid get a job on campus. After the probation period, campus employees are eligible for free tuition.

That’s the way one of our kids is going through school in the Cal State system. He takes pride in not relying on mom and pop. That makes me proud.
