Decision Time: UNLV, SDSU or UNR?

You parents didn’t mention? Did you ASK?

You as a student may borrow $5,500 freshman year, $6,500 sophomore year, $7,500 each for Jr and Sr year In Federal Direct Loans. That’s all, no one else will lend you money without a cosigner. So I’m really confused about those large amounts of loans you are talking about, I can’t believe you were offered those loans. Are you saying that UNLV with housing package has $3,000 in loans and you are supposed to contribute $20,500 additional from family contribution?

You may work summers to contribute toward the cost of attending UNLV while living at home if your parents won’t contribute anything else. That looks like the only option you can afford, so it’s a nobrainer.
