When Will Dammann’s mother needed multiple surgeries, the costs were so high that his family nearly lost their house and car to pay for them.
To keep that from happening, the University of Minnesota human resources and marketing freshman took money out of his college fund.
“Living in your house is much more important than anything you wanted,” he said.
Dammann was one of six University and high school students who attended a college affordability roundtable with Sen. Al Franken, D-Minn., at Coffman Union on Friday.
