^Loans??????

IndyofWA91 · 03-31-2009, 08:24 PM

i can't loan all of it.
i can't go that far in debt.
it's not worth it.

Congradulations imgoing2college.

May the rain come and ruin your tan in the days to come?

Seriously though, grats and well done.

IndyofWA91: A lot of people do take out loans to attend school Indy, no reasno why you shouldn't or can't.

tr1p7s · 03-31-2009, 08:32 PM

well you do have to consider what he would pay to go to school in washington compared to california. and since he's an out of state for cali, he would pay upwards of 40-50k compared to the in-state price at a school in washington

IndyofWA91 · 03-31-2009, 08:50 PM

yeah.
50,000 x 4= 200,000.
That's a lot of money to loan.
And because my EFC is higher than it should be, yet they said it's alright, I don't get federal grants.
WONDERFUL.
:/
i've had a really terrible day.... :/

hey IndyofWA91 and imgoing2college. I'm pretty much in a position that is a combination of yours. I didn't get into Stanford, so UCSB is my college of choice for the moment (I got waitlisted at Brown, Penn and Columbia, but I have to secure a spot anyways). However, as I'm an out-of-state, actually out-of-country student (I'm from Austria), I don't get any financial aid at UCSB and the tuition is incredibly high. So I'm totally unsure if it's worth it to borrow such a huge amount of money (my alternative back in Europe would be Warwick in the UK which is much cheaper). I am so totally not sure about UCSB's quality as we don't get much info about that here in Europe. I have heard that their business economics program is quite solid though, that's why I applied....it would be great if anyone could give me some more information on that!

Yeeha, UCSB is considered one of the top Public Universities in the U.S. It is a fantastic school! But yeah, money is always an issue, eh?

yeeha · 03-31-2009, 09:33 PM

thanks for your quick reply. I have heard it's a great school, and actually I already love the campus without even having been there yet....certainly beats the rain in the UK, haha. I guess if I can somehow raise the money, then I'll secure my place at UCSB and wait for the ivy waitlists to come. If I don't get in there, I'll at least have a solid alternative in California (still I'd love to hear more about UCSB and especially the econ program) oh btw, how about class size there? are there many 50+ classes or is it not that bad?
