<p>So I am still in a community college and I am think of transfer to Seattle University in the future. And their tuition is like 54k a year. I really want to go to Seattle, but I don’t know how can I afford the tuition. If I have to borrow some money, how much should I borrow for a year tuition? I don’t want to end up too much debt after graduation. </p>
<p>Apply for financial aid and see what is available. If you can’t afford it and you have to be full pay, you find a cheaper school. That’s really it. Whether you really want to go there or not. </p>
<p>You can do the loans and grants from school. I think thats what most of my friends are doing. Ask about the loans from Seattle Univ!</p>
<p>Seattle U offers pretty good aid from what my friends tell me (they go there). But you might not get as much aid as a transfer student since generally transfers get less. How much would you need to borrow? However much Seattle doesn’t give you. You would need to make up the difference. </p>
<p>I would apply and see the offer of aid first then go from there. If it’s too much, then that’s that, but you will never know unless you apply.</p>
<p>ok thanks for the info. but since I am not from seattle. I am going to a community college in AZ. Seattle U not care much about out of state students right? since it is a private school</p>
<p>Try the net price calculator at the schools of interest to get estimates on financial aid and net price.</p>
<p>You really do not want to have high student loan debt.</p>
<p>You can’t afford it so get realistic. Goto the best in state school in AZ. </p>
<p>Does your CC have an articulation agreement with Arizona or Arizona State? Why not choose to attend one of those schools? They are likely far cheaper.</p>
<p>Seattle U may offer you a transfer scholarship, but other than that I think you can’t hope for much financial aid from there - they don’t meet full need. Generally speaking it’s advised that you borrow no more than around $30,000 for undergrad. And you can’t anyway - your borrowing is limited to $7,500 a year unless you borrow private loans from a bank with a co-signer, which is inadvisable.</p>
<p>Why don’t you go to your state’s school</p>
