I've found Kettering to be far more affordable that I expected when I started. On the day of move in, the first thing I did was sit down with financial aid, explained my situation (my dad had been injured my senior year) and frankly asked if financially it made sense for me to attend. Fast forward a bit and I start my 8th term in January. (YIKES! When did this happen!?) I'll be honest, I've had a few terms where I haven't been able to register for classes until the day of class because I've needed money from work term to pay off my previous term. But as it stands now, I've paid less than $7,000 out of pocket, and have no private loans, only federal.

There's something nice to be said about only being in class for 22 weeks and watching your friends complain about finals when you finished yours weeks and weeks ago. (If you're on A-section that is.) What did I do last night? Went swing dancing. What's everyone else doing? Finishing finals. I'm pretty sure I had more fun. =D
