Money

Money is a big issue is college because it can be very expensive. Not only do you have the burden of getting all the loans you need, but you also have to think of where you are going to live, the food you are going to eat, gas, and other misculanious expenses. I have been here for 3 weeks so far and I have spent around $1000 just on buying things for the room, going out to eat, and gas. I have taken out around 8,000 dollars in loans. Next year I plan to move off campus just for the fact that it will spare me from 500-800 dollars less than what I pay for on campus living, living on campus you have parking tickets, reps from room checks or from missing convo... all kinds of things. I have already gotten two parking tickets each costing me 30 dollars, all because I parked on the wrong side of P-1. I think it is unfair and just a way for the school to make more money off of us. Which is sad because there are a lot of people who could be going to a school for a lot cheaper than going to school here, but because we want a christ-centered school we have to pay thousands extra? Am I right when I say this is this wrong? I could go to ANY PUBLIC school in Florida for FREE. But instead I chose Liberty and I will spend half of my life paying it off.
