The other night Cam and Cailey came to us and told us they just found out their tuition and housing went up each by $1800 a semester. They also lost a scholarship that was only for their first two years, so paying for college seemed to be out of reach. They went through a lot of ideas and choices, from taking out loans, taking a gap year, going online. In the end they decided to stay here, get more work time jobs and do online. They have to stay full time, so a few of the classes may not be super helpful but they will take the year to save up more. This will add a semester to graduation (so 2 years left vs 1.5) but it will be worth it to not take loans out when they don't need to.
They spent the weekend making the loft more long term livable for them.
