<prompt> Human: Im a senior in high school and I have no idea how to get through college without taking out many loans. I think that with scholarships and financial aid I should be able to pay for most of my tuition, but I will still have almost 8000 a year in room and board, plus books. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated! Im trying my best to start my life with as little debt as possible  <response>: finaid.orgstudentaid.ed.govWorkingBeing frugalHonestly, a lot of people have to take out loans to afford for school, and thats OK. You just want to try your best to go to an affordable school and nothing youve said is a red flag for saying its out of your price range and put in some hours working so you can offset some costs.
