<p>OP you aren’t clear if the cost is something your parents can and are willing to contribute or if you expect to take loans. Remember YOU alone can only get the Stafford loan limits ($5500 frosh, gradual bump ups). Any other loans would be solely your parents (PLUS or other), or would require a qualified consigners for each and every year of school. This would affect both credit scores as well.
While my D participated in NUin and is happily and successfully in her first coop, I would never recommend such high loan amount for any school. (The $47000 if loans is too high also). It would shackle you and affect your life for years and years. Think smart and pick a school that allows you to reach many life goals. Work hard, seek out mentors and internships. There are many paths to a successful life. </p>
