Hey everybody I keep hearing bring down the debt as much as possible, what are some reasonable ways to try and accomplish this?

UVA and Cornell might be peer institutions (LOL), but Cornell is going to make 0 effort to match their price. I’m talking to my counselor about negotiating as much as possible, but the chances of any significant difference seems really bleak. I also doubt any sort of appeal will be processed in time (Maybe it’s still worth doing though?).

I’m gonna be doing everything I can to earn 10-15 K over the summer through internships, so my actual debt when I graduate will be minimized.

@Proud3894 Thank you for the valuable recommendation of taking a finance course. Even if its nothing official, I’ll definitely be reading on the subject over the summer.
