how do college students manage to afford a car on top of tuition, rent, food, utilities, and health insurance


how do college students manage to afford a car on top of tuition, rent, food, utilities, and health insurance?
even with a full time job, its hard to do. and if you don't have a parent to cosign, the most you can get in loans is around 7k/year, that doesn't even cover tuition at a state school in my state! i have no idea how the college kids do it.

Loans, funds, jobs and scraping by. Health insurance I have no idea here we have health care and the university charges you for coverage for dental and everything more. Plus lots of places make you pay for a full meal plans when living in res because everyone choses to spend it all on booze or just another way to get money out of you every chance they get.

They don't. You may think that they all have these "basics" covered, but they really don't. I know that about 50% of the people in my dorms did not have cars, or health insurance, and food was TOP RAMEN and a COKE. Tuition was covered by loans. The one's who did have all these necessities covered were upper-middle class kids who had (2) working parents. It may seem like everyone is well off, but they aren't, trust me
