Duke Grad Student Secretly Lived In a Van to Escape Loan Debt - Yahoo! Finance

Pretty cool story about a guy that lived out of a van in order to reduce the cost of grad school. $30K+ in debt from Undergrad could have been cut considerably if he had known about CBE. UB takes at least some CLEP UB Undergraduate Catalog 2013-2014: College-Level Examination Program (CLEP)

I wonder how his life might have been changed if he knocked out just 30 credits via CBE....$7000 or so?

Of course, I HAD to check. Duke doesn't award credit for CLEP. (but he could have used AP, they'll take that)
