    If someone in your life offered you to pay your college tuition and/or medical school because they were so rich would you take it or would you rather work for the money and have to pay it yourself. I personally wish to have someone else pay it for me because I see that having a job is such an impediment because the work that should matter is school because I don't think that working in fast food is going to apply in the medical field. On the other hand paying college on your own makes it worth it. But seriously in reality the real work that should matter is the hark work put in school not work. In conclusion I would have someone else pay it for me if they offered it.

    I definitely would accept. It's basically sucking up your pride to live comfortably through your college years, which I think is a good deal.

    I would accept it.

    And i think most people would. It is easy to say "i wouldn't do that, because i want to work hard for the things i have!", but i doubt most people would really turn down that offer.

    There's a catch, somewhere... especially if they're offering it to me.

    But assuming no strings attached, I'd take it. Why not? I could focus the money I do work for, on other areas, which is a win-win all around.

    I'd like to say yes, but if I did, I wouldn't want them to hold it over me for the rest of my life.

    This is why you get a degree in something, then buy out their business.

    its already happening to me =)

    i dont held any for pre-med so my parent have to pay for it.

    now, i have 2 scholarship at medschool (i applied 10 different scholarship, got reply from 4 to conduct interview and i successfully held 2)

    1 fully cover my tuition
    another 1 gave me $180 monthly allowance
    its not much but its enough to survive in a country where everywhere is rather cheap and i dont have to pay for accommodation because i live in the provided shared apartment for med student.

    I also have a part time job as a TA in the pre-med Clinical Pathology Department at my uni. The pay is suck $6 for 2 hours of teaching session but the experience is worth every penny...

    In Hungary the state pays for our college/university studies if we can get a certain number of points based on our high school studies and graduation performance. If I hadn't reached the necessary limit, my parents would have paid for it. For us it wouldn't have been a horrible fee, it was ~1200 USD per semester, but now they raised it to 1600 USD. That's a bit trickier.

    Edit: so yeah, I would accept it.

    So long as there was no catch I would accept. But as things are never or rarely given for free, there would almost certainly be a catch. I could always accept it, and then poison them...Hmmm...I think I need to go find a rich aunt now...

    If there was no catch at all, yes I would. This nonsense is gonna have me in debt for the rest of my life. I'm already 5 digits deep, and I still have another year of undergrad and grad school left.

    Depends.If it's a rich stranger interested in investing in the future through education sure,why not?

    From my parents...i want to pay for myself and live on my own two feet but I'd swallow my pride if i really needed the money.However them paying for the whole thing or even a majority of it?No way.This doesn't even have to do with pride it's just that i have two siblings and we don't really have that much money.

    Accepting it from a friend...again a little help here and there or lending something is fine but other than that i won't accept it.Even if it isn't meant that way it always seems like someone trying to show they're better.
