Reply to comment by User0098237490 in Is it possible (or rather, realistic) for a broke 25 year old to (assuming he gets in) attend URI without incurring a single penny of debt? by PinkSwallowLove

I really appreciate you sharing your perspective as a URI student. It means a lot. Thanks for being frank with me about the current reality. It’s disheartening that college remains out of reach without loans, it feels so unfair to students. It’s a shame because URI has a really unique environmental economics program that caught my interest but I don’t know that I could afford it ):

It definitely sucks that’s for sure. You should try CCRI first! You might be eligible for their free tuition, and can always transfer over to URI afterwards. That’s what I did to help cut down on college costs too. I’d be way more in student loan debt now if I just went to URI right after high school, and in all honesty I kind of enjoyed CCRI more than URI. It was easier to make friends there IMO.
