My experience with student loans: go with grants and scholarships
as much as you can, then use loans for whatever else. I went to the
school guidance councilor and received lots of information of free
financial aid, and did receive several things from the
government. My sister and her daughter filled out a lot of
scholarship forms, especially the ones done by businesses. My niece
didn’t have to pay anything for her college, or room and board there.
The student loans are a low interest loan, or they were when I got
mine. If you don’t expect the loan to pay for everything, you won’t
owe enough to be a second mortgage when you get your degree.
