I agree with llecs... get to work (at something). I too worked full time, went to school full time including summer school and winter mini-term. I had my one shot at my education (free ride made the difference via SSI!) without putting myself in massive debt. And my job re-enbursed me on top of it! So I was getting paid to go to school!
I could have done it w/o the full-time job - but being able to buy clothes and other stuff (including an apartment and furniture that I could afford was nice - and I came out of school debt free and with 3 years of work experience - just had to watch how much I made during those years (ssi benes would get cut).
