Hello everyone. I have this question regarding the differences between the public vs. private sector of colleges in the U.S. I am currently stuck in a financial burden at the moment having to pay rent for a townhouse with an addition of a whole slew of other bills. I am a full-time student a private university studying pharmacy. The cost to attend is roughly 18,000 since I am not living in the dorms. I have applied for financial aid and the like and I am left with about 1500.00 left over to pay for tution. Would public school be the same way with me having to pay around 1500.00 dollars as well? I have split the money I owe into monthly payments but still it takes a bite out of any chance for savings. My question is if I transfered to a public university would I have more money left over? I know public colleges are cheaper and I would like to save money. The one I am looking at in Richmond only costs about 10,000 a year.
I am 23 years of age and I am a veteran of the U.S armed forces, so I have help via the G.I Bill for one more year of school. I was only awarded 2 years of G.I Bill benefits due to an early medical discharge. Frankly, I have been using that money just to stay afloat of my bills. Since my car's engine died and the transmission was only recently rebuilt only a few months ago, I am hurting bad in the financial sector. I really want to finish school and its quite stressful since I don't have the support of any parents(they refuse to help because of disagreements, guilt trips, and other negative behaviors via their destructive alcoholic habits). Hopefully I could move into a dorm and not worry about utility bills, rent, and other various expensives, and more importantly, it would allow me to focus on my education more instead of fretting incessantly over how I am going to manage to pay all these bills. If anyone has any information that can help shed light on this situation I would be much obliged. Thank you.
