What are ways to go back to school full-time?
Right now I am a part time student and I work full-time, but I'm thinking of going back full time in Fall 2007. Note I am 24 years old.

At 24, u are independent , so depending on the cost of your school and other expenses..you may not have to work at all.. You can qualify for up to $10,000 as a freshmen and it goes up once you get a junior.of course, that 's based on income listed on FAFSA. I went FT, worked PT, and had some pell but a LOT of loans (which I don't recommend). It's better NOT to work if you will struggle with keeping grades up. GL

Apply for Financial Aid. If you are a part time student maybe you already know how to do this. Go to FAFSA online. At 24 you are eligible for more money.
I was able to live off a financial aid and go to school full-time.
You should also be able to work part-time, if you'd like, on top of this ( I did and it helped me, when you don't have too much extra time you are sure to stick to a schedule and your grades therefor improve)

Work part-time and get as much financial aid as you can. I'm 25, married, and I go to school full-time and work part-time. If you can manage it, work a full-time job too, but whether you can do that depends on the workload of your major. I'd definitely look into more financial aid, as long as you have good grades.

Consider doing some of your courses online or in hybrid (both in class and part online)
changes in US rules on Student Aid for tuition began to allow for covering the cost of online classes six months ago - wonder how many have actually taken advantage of this change
