The illusive dream of benefits which a college degree can bring a person is often beyond the experience of an average graduate.

Financially, unless you come from a very well-off family or have a stable financial support such as a trust fund, a college student is drained. The average student pays somewhere between nine and seventeen thousand dollars a year in tuition fees. We also have to consider commuting expenses, books, meals and other miscellaneous fees. .
These accumulated costs are sometimes not paid off until years after the student has graduated, even if they currently hold a job.
Commuting is also a great hassle because if you do not own a car, you are running on .
someone else's schedule and not your own. On the other hand, if you do have the luxury of owning a vehicle, traffic and road changes may cause you to miss classes. .
Time management can also create problems, for the student. Students must fit sleep, study, work and classes into a tight schedule.
