because you will have to take out even more loans for graduate school.

That really depends on what you go to grad school in. In the sciences you generally get a pretty reasonable stipend. Med school of course is a different story.



mathmom beat me to it. Many engineering departments, natural science departments and social science departments (such as economics) bring in a lot of external research funds which include support for graduate students. Neither my husband nor I paid any tuition or fees for our doctoral programs, and were paid stipends for our research (albeit not lucrative).

Medical, veterinary, law schools, etc. are completely different.
