Ugh, I hate when I get a rock in my tire, especially if you have the windows open. Every time you drive by a building or parked car you get a the clear echo of "tick-tick-tick-tick"

Agreed. If you are trying to live the "college life" you are probably blowing your cash, especially in dorms and with a car. If the person is in need, more programs exist to help. Its the middle-class eighteen year olds who can't manage a job and school who take the easy money and are indebted.

A FAFSA will determine whether you get any grants (not loans) from the governments. Scholarships are next, plenty to apply to and nobody does anymore. In addition, there are work programs where you work for the university--not sure what benefits to school there are. Lastly, though it may not be available before graduate school, a TA or RA position, which would cover all tuition and pay a stipend. Best luck, URI is a good school. Don't forget to talk to their registrar and they probably have the most information on help with tuition.
