I agree that there is no harm in working through college. It may be good for you. If you find roomates, housing can be fairly cheap.
I have no idea how fundamentalist your libertarian views are (do you pay taxes?), but student loans are (usually? often? always?) provided by private banks with government guarantees, and you might as well take advantage of the government if you can. Or maybe you're just against debt in general -- not really trying to get you suckling on the government teat -- just throwing that out there.
Good luck.
