Question First year experience? Loans, work, and balancing it all? - August 3rd 2014, 03:30 AM
How many of you have student loans and still work while in school?

Do you find working takes away from you academic success?

What is your experience with student loans with or without a part time job?

I am eligible for full Ontario student loans and probably some grants too. However I want to stick with my regiment of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu through school as long as I possibly can, but I am feeling like work, sport, study and extracurricular would be a lot to balance as a first year student. Especially keeping in mind the fact that I struggle with anxiety and tend to be over ambitious and be very hard on myself.

I would appreciate any advice or stories about your own experiences.
