The key is to use the community college system. Get your associates first at low cost and then finish up your degree. Saves thousands of dollars.

That is a very smart approach if you want to avoid amassing student debt. There are smart ways to do it, some just don't consider the impact of the tens of thousands of debt because they never learned how to manage money in high school and their parents may be poor money managers (look at our 401k crisis for evidence).

Don’t choose a useless major that doesn’t have a good earning potential after graduation. Take the maximum nuber of credits at a time allowed under the “full time” price. Don’t screw around, make sure to study and attend class so you can get your 4 year deree in only 4 years!

The cost of a college education is ridiculous these days. I remember when I transferred from the local community college to a 4 year university, a full 15 hour course load was about $200.00 and books were close to $400. Now its $400+ per hour of class and grad school is worse.

Seniors may apply for the Tennessee Promise scholarship, which will provide two years of tuition-free attendance at a community or technical college in Tennessee.
