I don't want to sound like the old man "it worked for me, I don't understand why it wouldn't work for you" but I feel college is the first "Don't live above your means" lesson you can give a young person.

I did 2 years of community college, followed by two years at the local State university.

Granted, this was 20(plus) years ago, but I just looked at the numbers, and both are still VERY affordable.

Nassau Community College is $2900 a semester if you are going there full time (12 credits or more). Some added fees (all under $400) for a few of the science and music classes.

Farmingdale State University is $3600, plus $300 per credit.

So you can basically do all 4 years for less than one year at a University like Syracuse.

And you won't leave with a diploma at $240k in debt.
