How do you manage Cornell tuition?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Cornell University

<p>I got into Cornell just last week. I know Cornell is a prestigious college, but it is very expensive. I was wondering how do you all manage to pay all tuition fees.<br>
As for me, my parents will pay just a part of the whole tuition, the rest I have to take loans. Is it the same for all of you?</p>

<p>Parents pay for all (having asian parents pays off in the end hehe).</p>

3

<p>Haha, some of us aren't as fortunate to have parents able to afford full tuition. My parents will help, but, good god, $40,000 a year - time to take out a second mortgage.</p>

4

<p>i haven't gotten in yet but i know my parents would definetly NOT pay for the whole thing. too bad having asian parents doesn't work for me as well as for you towerpumpkin =P</p>

<p>I have divorced parents, so you can imagine how much fun this financing thing has been for me. I'm taking on $40,000 in loans myself just so I don't have to listen to them ***** at one another.</p>

6

<p>Financial Aid for me.... I feel thankful :)</p>

7

<p>werd, towerpumpkin!
I m apping to a couple local scholarships too, just in case I can get a few thousand dollars to pay for books and whatnot.</p>

8

<p>I'll be in excess of 40 thousand in debt when I get out this upcoming January.</p>

<p>I think I'll sell some organs</p>

<p>I totally agree, towerpumpkin! My parents (of course, Asian) are willing to pay the full tuition!!!</p>

12

<p>I heared selling organs is a very lucrative business:)</p>

13

<p>Just don't sell your brain, I hear they might be useful in college.</p>

14

<p>And your liver :)</p>

15

<p>Good call.</p>

16

<p>we use only 4% of our brains anyway so why not donate the rest of it ??? I mean cmon !!</p>

17

<p>I'm paying with a 70,000 dollar inheritance that is collecting interest and becomes mine when I turn 21...</p>

<p>and grandpa is giving me 10,000 a year</p>

<p>5,000 from my dad</p>

<p>I think that covers CALS, in state</p>

18

<p>have you ED acceptees gotten a financial aid package yet?</p>

19

<p>A tentative one came about a week after I got in</p>

20

<p>Yes, I received one, and while $0 isn't quite as generous as what I was hoping for, I suppose I should be grateful that at least they took the time to send me a letter.</p>
