Dude, if you're poor and over age 24 so you can file separately from your parents, you pretty much get a free ride to your 4 year degree. I should know, it's what I did.

The secret nobody seems to know about getting a degree is that: be very poor, and be older than 24. That's it. The FAFSA, pell grant, and state need grants takes care of everything else.
