“No, actually. I was expecting to be in a lot of debt because it was for school. But I have direct deposit for some of my loans. … It’ll probably be a lot worse when I actually start to pay my loans off.”

Emily Campbell

engineering freshman

“Not really. My dad pays for everything. He told me to focus on school.”

Leslie Herrala

kinesiology junior

“No, my parents pay for my tuition. But I make sure what I bring in is more than what I spend.”

Phil Timko

zoology senior

“Yeah, a lot (more), because tuition is expensive. I’ve had a hard time getting federal funding … so everything is in loans.”

Michelle Wells

animal science sophomore

“No, my grandparents invested in the Michigan Education Trust, so that covers tuition.”

Emily Zafiroff

James Madison College freshman
