I'm 22 and out of college for almost a year now and I'm footing about 80% of the bill. We had to take out a bunch of loans, some in my name, some in theirs. We've since consolidated all the loans into two: every loan in my name and every loan in my parent's. But because my older brother was already off at college, my parents didn't have a lot of money, so I started off paying both my loans and my parent's. Then after their financial situation improved, they told me they could handle some of it, and took over paying the much smaller loans out in my name, while I continued paying the loans that were taken out in their name.
I've been working odd jobs since I was in HS, so working, going to classes, and paying bills all at the same time wasn't something new to me. Although there were times when going to class in the morning and working at night really got to me. 17 hour days are rough and it's hard not to let it affect your grades. You just have to keep at it, though.
