My College tuition.....

[Pooshonmyshoos]

Yeah.............. 57 Thousand Dollars....... Lovely.

[qw1ksh0t]

Wow that stinks. What college may I ask?

[Pooshonmyshoos]

DeVry. Game and Simulation Programming.. And I am saving 21 thousand by doing it as fast as I can instead of in a normal 4 year time....2.8 years.

[beanmiester]

You should sue somebody.

[Pooshonmyshoos]

You should sue somebody.

Well here is the bad thing..

i have always expected my dad to pay my fee.. 4/5? years ago he was making 80-100 grand a year easily.. MORE than enough to pay semester fees.. But then he got injured and has not worked since because he is suing workers comp/his work but they have yet to settle, so yeah I am really bummed about that.

[beanmiester]

Do you qualify for financial aid?

I'm guessing you wouldn't when your dad made that much money but if he was injured they might make an exception or something.

[Bilehd92]

Wow man. I'm applying for the Savannah college of arts and design in the field of Graphic Design and Animation. Its 27 grand a year along with the state citizen money off.

57 grand, dude? I'd think twice.

Do you have to be a good artist to be accepted?

[Skullbad]

big mistake on your part, now that you don't qualify for finiancle aid since your a lvl 3. you won't get any help which will only get you like 1-2 yrs of college career. If you didn't save any, wow you would have only paid a couple of grand a semester at most like 3, but thats what scholar ships are for. kinda screwed yourself over.

[RogerTheRabbit]

Why am I suprised that many of you are going to college for graphics, arts, and gaming? I should know better lol. Anyways...

Congrats on getting into DeVry Poosh. $57,000 is a lot of money, and I never thought DeVry would be so expensive, but good luck with your career. Im attending Embry Riddle Aeronautical University for Aerospace Engineering and its costing me $40,000. College is awesome, but the food teh sucks. Oh, and the freshman 15 is no myth.

[Bilehd92]

Do you have to be a good artist to be accepted?

[Just about...

-High drawing and sketching skills

-Must be familiar with several Animation and Design programs

-Able to Create and edit motion animations

-Taken an art class or computer class.

-Must show great interrest in art in your portfolio or interview.

[beanmiester]

Hmmm

I can't draw worth crap but I'm a decent sig maker.

Been doing it for 3 months and already at the same level most people are at half a year or more.

Think that would enough if I stick with the ps editing for a few years?

[Pooshonmyshoos]

For those of you who are confused about grants; here is how they work, I am probably more qualifed for them than any of you.

When you apply for grants you get money based off of what your "dependent" parent made in the LAST year and the LAST year alone.

Last year my dad made... 7200 dollars, (800 bucks a month and for 3 months he did not get it) off of wokers compensation......

So being as my papa was poorer than dirt, my grant should be bigger than most.

As for thinking twice Bile, I won't... not many collages give you a bachelors degree in video games. Also..

Say if I went to a 4 year collage, truth is you spend about 5 1/2 years in a 4 year collage. So lets say 15 grand a year, thats 77K. Now as for me...
3 years 57 K then I start a job immediately at 40k a year, therefore when your still paying 15k a semester I am already making money, so I am ahead of the game anyway.

I don't care if it cost 32349320 I am going to college no matter what.

[maggerz]

Dam dude, apply for a bit cheaper college. You could get a second job but most people wont do that. Steal money ! :P

[Da2Shae]

For you my friend, I'd suggest Scholarships and stuff...

Register here:

Plenty of scholarships and more...

If that doesn't work, try being a dentist or something useful...which may inevitably cost more... Idk

I looked in the graphic design field for you because thats where you use photoshop and other programs to design banners or advertisements.

You need:

-Must be able to sketch and draw fairly well

-Must be familliar with Photoshop or other editing programs

There are more but those are what you should focus on now.

[Skullbad]

no, if you have a savings fund, your screwed pretty much. They see if you have any money for financial aid. Well tahts how they do it over here. Don't know over there. Hope it goes well for you.

[greb]

Lol! I pay 2 grand a semester.

[Da2Shae]

Lol does your school offer a lot? I mean you can do a few scholarships and pay nothing for 2k/semester.

[greb]

Colorado University at Denver.
