Alex:

Here are some tips:  In your short post I have counted 9 punctuation errors and 
two misspellings.  Perhaps, if you would concentrate on improving your writing 
skills, you could impress one of the local fat cat employers, causing one 
of them to give you a great job with a corner office.  Thus employed, you could 
buy lots of beer and pizza of your own accord.  Of course, I was once a 
starving undergrad, so I can sympathize with you there.  And that was when 
tuition was a paltry 15 bucks an hour!

Regarding same, it seems that paying for college is kind of like buying an 
engagement ring in the following sense:  When you ask of the jeweler "how much 
should I spend," they retort "two months wages."  If you ask them "why should 
I spend that amount?," they say "because everyone agrees that you need to 
spend two months wages on an engagement ring."  The same holds for the 
purchase of higher education--there is little tie to absolute value, only 
relative value.  As long as you're paying three times too much for it, but 
other people are paying four times too much, you think that you're getting a 
bargain! 

Hang in there Alex, and don't be reduced to despondency and excessive 
consumption of the fruit-of-the-vine! You may have to work your way through to 
pay for double-digit annual percentage increases in tuition, but you can do it! 
Upon completion, you will be proud to have endured the "financial hazing" of 
having attended a modern American university. Just don't kill too many brain 
cells in the process! :)
