> Does nobody in the US live with their parents while going to university?

The tuition fees are probably a bigger expense than your living expenses if you go to college in USA.

Here in North Carolina, the flagship state universities are still only about $10k/year or less for tuition. If the student lives at home with their parents, it really wouldn’t be difficult to pay most of their way through school. College is expensive in general but it doesn’t have to be as bad as a lot of people make it out to be.

Please tell me how a full-time student can fairly easily earn 10 grand a year (plus books, clothing, phone bill, entertainment, laptop, etc)?
