Britni M has a spectacular aura about
It is easier to attend college single than married... I am married and in college and although I don't regret getting married, it complicates things a lot more. Instead of one loan you have two... so instead of being $20,000 in debtafter school, you are $40,000 in debt. Also depending upon how much your husband to be makes you may not even qualify for grants after you are married (if you combined make more than $20,000 a year, say good bye to grants). Being married and without dependants is also the worst tax bracket to be in, and disqualifies you from tons of scholarships.
If you want to get married for the "perks", think again because there are none while being in college. It takes a lot of hard work and an immense amount of compromise to be married and in college, and it's going to take a lot of sacrafices... way more than you expect. Just be careful, you know what you are ready for and what you arn't ready for... just know that it isn't easy, not even for a second.

I hope this helps, good luck to you!
