How do people pay for college?

<p>I would wager that if you had a room full of 1000 people who made from $60,000 to $360,000, they all consider themselves middle class</p>

<p>lol…this is probably true.</p>

<p>And, the truth is…the typical “middle class” family cannot afford to pay UDel OOS costs. A NJ friend of mine sent her D to UDel, no aid, but they’re quite affluent. Those who are paying OOS costs for a public are likely affluent people. </p>

<p>And, frankly, if your EFC is around 300, your family may not be middle class. At least to me, that sounds like a lowish income.</p>
