I took out the maximum amount of loans possible. Then during my first semester I was hit with a $4,000 bill. At that point they wouldn’t let me take out anymore loans, but offered me another grant and then my mom had to take out a loan. After that I still owed about $600, I had to pay that difference. My financial situation definitely put a damper on school. I’m also not returning next year due to that and some other factors. If you think that you can handle it, then good for you, but it’s stressful and if you let it, it can affect your schoolwork. I also have work study so I’ve been working all year. It was still a hard hit for me. Thankfully I only owe about $8,000.
