Same here. Was hoping i could get a scholarship to Yale, but well guess it was very difficult. Besides, dont take loans to go to uni. The amount will multi fold a lot and by the time you complete your education, you'll have to spend quite a number of years trying to repay it and the interest would be still snowballing. In short, you'll never get rich or rather, live the way you want.
A lot of universities offer co-op programs in several of their fields. So for an extra year (which you pay like 1000$ for) you'll get 16 months of paid experience for whatever field you are mastering in. Hence you get out with either little or no debt and your resume looks so much better with professional experience
