Is my financial aid good for this private school?

Paying for College
1

<p>Hi everyone,</p>

<p>I am the daughter of parents from different countries (I was born here, though), so I’m not familiar with any of this, and I was wondering what you thought about my financial aid award from Simmons College in Boston.</p>

<p>From my letter, I have established for THIS coming school year, I have around $8,000 to pay in loans, plus the $13,000 to pay for room and board, which is required for the first year. The rest of the tuition is covered by a grant ($16,000) and the Dean’s Scholarship ($15,000/year), plus a few other minor things.</p>

<p>The undergraduate non-nursing total is around $47,500, which is quite expensive.</p>

<p>Is this good? Or does the room and board + loans total a bit too much? I’m worried about paying it all off.</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>In order for us to really do an assessment we’ll need to know the school and the exact particulars of the FA: Grants, Merit, loans, etc</p>
