<p>Frankly, it’s often silly to borrow/live in dorms to go to a CC. And, you probably can’t borrow enough to pay for the dorm, food, tuition, etc, anyway.</p>
<p>What CC is close enough to your home that you can commute to? What state univ is close to home?</p>
<p>You do NOT want to borrow a lot for undergrad. Thankfully, you can’t borrow much by yourself. </p>
<p>You may need to work 15+ hours per week, plus go to school in order to cover many college and transportation costs.</p>
<p>MOST kids in the US commute to their local CC or state univ. That is how most people afford college. Going away to school is a luxury. Most who do that have parents who pay.</p>
