Will your parents co-sign your student loans? For freshman year, the max federally funded Direct Loan in your name only is $5500. Who will co-sign for the remainder…if it’s all in loans? And really, I hope you don’t need to fund your entire undergrad costs with loans. Even at $30,000 a year, that’s $120,000 just for undergrad loans.
I agree you should apply to University of New Mexico.
