  How college is not just an education its an experience that is costly, is it worth going to school to be in student debt, or only worth it to build connections? When going to college, financial situations and family relationships shape this mindset of going to college and how that can affect an experience at college. White A, Hingson R. The burden of alcohol use: excessive alcohol consumption and related consequences among college students.  Alcohol research . 2013;35(2):201-218.  https://bit.ly/3aBHQ1S   When taking the social situations of college, do students who are drinking at college know what they are going into and know how much they can intake. With this scholarly article, details about college drinking, and what social relations can be built from statistics are shown through this article.

  Update us where you stand on your topic idea   My idea has evolved form just financial situations to talking about the feeling of being a burden to family and what it does to the relationship and focus of mindset on school.

  what topic or topics are you considering for a class project, and why? The main topic I want to talk about is how entering college depends on your families financial situation. How less-affluent children have a disadvantage when finding a college that is affordable and if they have the time to be fully committed to school. That fully committed mindset to school is a huge part of success with students whether that be with the party, professional, or mobility pathway. I want to be able to talk about the pathways and relate them to financial stances with families to make students aware going to college is not necessary unless you are financially able to handle it. It feels as if most students, among myself, think it is necessary to go to college to be successful later, but college only makes that easier and putting yourself in debt or not fully focusing on school may not be worth the risk of going into student debt.  So recap, talk about both financial standings for a family, and point
