Now that I’ve gotten my first acceptance, I have an estimate $11,000 that is unaccounted for. I get $21,813 from UC Davis (with a fed direct subsidized loan) out of 33,000. I know that I probably wouldn’t need 33k living frugally, but 11k seems like a pretty huge amount of money that my parents are supposed to give me. They make around 47k a year and are in no position to give me anything let alone thousands of dollars. How do people do it? Is there some other loan?
I would assume you have to get private loans. They are generally not as good and are what you will want to pay off ASAP.
Does anyone know if there’s a way to ask for more unsubsidized/subsidized loans?
