@CandyFloss, what’s your family’s EFC? Can your parents afford it? The problem with parents borrowing for one child when they have several younger children is that they may not qualify for loans later on. Students can’t borrow more than the federal student loans ($5500 as a freshman, $6500 as a soph, $7500 as a jr, & $7500 as a senior).

What’s the cost of attendance at each school (tuition + fees + room & board) - financial aid (grants + $5500 the federal student loan)? How much can your parents pay without taking out any loans? The net cost is an important factor to consider.
