Is Tulane worth 100K debt?

Where are you going to get those loans, if indeed it comes up to a $100K cost for 4 years? The Stafford is all you are guaranteed to be allowed to take in your own name. Your parents are the ones who will have borrow, not you.

ALso unless your sibling is a twin or a othewise a freshman at the same time as you, there will come the time when you are the only one in college.

But even if you could, borrowing 100K for undergraduate education is foolish. Think about what the monthly payment on that will be, and think about what you can expect to make out of college. I know too many unemployed, underemployed and underpaid young gradautes. The needs continue as you do job searches and have needs for work.
