<p>As future engineers, how much debt are you willing to go into for a top school or your “fit” school?</p>
<p>I tolerated zero…</p>
<p>I got around $18k in debt for my undergrad school. I saved money from summer internships and after graduating early, I worked for nine months with one of my professors. Took the money I saved during that time and paid off my $5k loan that was unsubsidized leaving only $13k in subsidized loans, which I don’t have to worry about now that I’m in graduate school with a full fellowship.</p>
