how many people would you say pay for their college by themselves? i.e. their parents do NOT give them any $ to pay for college whatsoever and they work to pay for it. I guess I would say paying for school would include those who live with their parents still, but are paying for their college i.e. not paying for food, no rent. I'd say it is somewhat low but I could be wrong.

I had to pay for most of college and worked while going to school. My parents would give me what they could to put towards books. I also had to pay for my food also if I decided to eat out but I never had to pay for rent.

I know of 1 person who is doing it. And because of this he barely goes. he has to work more than normal to pay for all the fee's and books. College prices are totally insane now a days. I couldn't afford it myself without the fee waivers & stuff the school offers. But as far as books go Im paying for those and constantly looking for cheaper ways of getting them.
