I did not attend BYU, but I also don't think I would have been a good fit at any church school.

I attended College of Idaho, private, and the quality of education was worth it. My parents made loan payments for me while I served my mission in Thailand (which cost $10k). I was underwhelmed at academic rigor attending EWU for my second BA. Did not make loan payments while attending EWU. I worked 3-4 part time jobs during the school year (life guard, baker, referee, umpire).

I think my college loans are $60k right now. But I also didn't make payments while getting my MA. And now I'm considering my doctorate. But the profession I'm in is a "more education = more pay" wage ladder. I think it's a racket, but it's the game I chose to play.
