I just finished undergraduate school with no loans. I am very glad. However, my degree is such that I can’t do much with it unless I get a Masters. So, I’m in graduate school right now. I have to take out loans, and I’m expecting to take out a considerable amount to pay for two years of grad school. Now, even when I get my Master’s degree, I will likely get a job that only pays ,000/year, if that. I’m planning on going into teaching, and at a Catholic school.
So, my question is: should I be overly concerned about paying back my loans? Has anyone else here taken out college loans and was able or are able to pay them back, even though one wasn’t in a big-bucks paying profession?
I really appreciate the advice!
Will my university give me less aid (or not consider me an independent student) If I marry someone who is not a US citizen (rather than marrying someone who IS a US citizen)?
i still owe around 15,000 for college (i graduated in ‘06). anyways, i pay 150 bucks a month currently. im getting ready to take care of my federal tax return and my question refers to amount of money made and if i can claim college loans on my returen. i made 77,000 gross income in 2009. i think i may be over the limit to get the college loans kickback. what is the cutoff? please explain. thanks much and God bless.
Where I choose to go to college will partially be determined by how much financial aid I get from each school. Will I find out how much financial aid i’m offered before or after I have committed to a college?
I’ve been able to pay my first two years of college through savings but I am running short of money and may need to take out a loan in 5 or 6 months. What are the best options with low interest? Federal loans? I know nothing in the loans/college paying department. Any help or advice is appreciated with 10 points thanks!
Is it indefinite? Meaning I will receive financial aid as long as I am in college. Or is there a specific number of years that FAFSA can be used.
I have 2 separate college loans one with Sallie Mae and the other with Wachovia Bank I have been out of college for a about 3 years. So how do I shop for a "best rate" consolidated student loan?
This is my last year of college and my financial aid advisor just told me that I have no more money for school? Can this happen? and if so what do I need to do?
My parents are encouraging me to go somewhere very close to our house, but i have my heart set on going somewhere else. They are trying to sell me the idea that i may never pay off my college loans.
My boyfriend is moving into my apartment this month and will be put on the lease as responsible for 1/2 the monthly rent. He is planning on starting college in June, at which point he won’t be able to pay the 0 a month. Is it possible for his school to work his rent into his school loans? If it matters, he is going to be attending Pittsburgh Institute of Mortuary Science.
