<p>I hate that word, but for some reason it keeps screaming in the back of my mind and haunts my other interests like a phantom that I will inevitably have to exorcise.</p>
<p>So we just bought a new house and that’s a pretty big dent in the wallet, and on top of that we have to pay a lot of money because I am attending an elite private university.</p>
<p>So I have a couple of questions concerning my best friend Abraham Lincoln:
- Will colleges revise one’s financial aide package due to something as stupid as buying a new house?</p>
<li><p>How much money is enough for personal expenditures? Is 3000 a year enough?</p></li>
<li><p>I am planning on going to med school which is quite expensive. Should I take subsidized loans for undergrad? Also, will med schools look at your loan history in determining their financial aide?</p></li>
<li><p>Are there any extra costs in college? It may sound trivial, but my high school has about 5k of extraneous costs (debate team, food, tests, activities, clubs)</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Muchos gracias for any help available, please help me combat the green demon so I can enjoy the other aspects of my life.</p>
