 To personally avoid student loan debt, I plan to be smart and responsible with my finances from the beginning. I will apply for as many scholarships and grants as possible, and consider attending a community college for the first two years to save money. I’ll also look for part-time work or paid internships to help cover my expenses while gaining experience. Living at home or choosing affordable housing can also make a big difference. By budgeting carefully and making thoughtful choices, I hope to get a quality education without being weighed down by debt after graduation.
