I think if you had to explain this to a kid and his parents before getting them on a the hook for a loan, then it might carry more weight than some abstract amount of money that you don't have to pay until you are done with school.
Weekends and holidays off, 3 years supply of Frank’s Xtra Hot for the gruel, and you’ve got yourself a goddamn deal.
