Poor College Student: 1; Recession: ...something-billion

Paying for college sucks.

It's not that I'm feeling dangerously bitter right now, after scouring a 1-mile radius around USC with four girlfriends for an affordable apartment between the luscious Tuscany Penthouse and a cardboard box.

But I mean...
If all it takes is 20 hours of Ranch-hand work, or converting to Pre-Law and moving to Irvine,
then, shit.

I'm down it if it means going to one of these 8 Tuition-Free Colleges.

I love you, SC, but you're just are not recession-friendly.
I'm just sayin'.
