As an undergrad, it's advisable to live in student housing and eat on a meal plan that is either fully or mostly paid for via grants/scholarships, and most or all of the tuition should also be covered with grants/scholarships....even if they don't have grants/scholarships to cover housing, cheap student housing should run 700-1000/mo in most college towns. ...when I was an undergrad, my monthly out of pocket expenses were probably around 500 (approx 800-1000/mo adjusted for inflation).Of course, some kids can't get scholarships/grants, in which case they may want to do something that puts them in a position where they COULD get scholarships/grants (for instance, gain field experience that makes them more attractive to scholarships, or find an employer that offers scholarships/grants), and/or they should look for cheaper colleges...or just not go to college at all--it's not for everyone, and plenty of people do better without college.But yeah--if being in college IS costing you $3k/month, you'd want to really closely evaluate that ROI...at the end of the day, it's like anything else: a cost / benefit ratio--if the costs are too high, and the benefit is too low, do something to change the ratio, or find a different plan...but definitely don't buy a Mercedes until you have Mercedes money.
