<p>Malan, please disregard URDefect’s comments… I already addressed this in another thread, but UR is NOT just for rich kids… sure, there are many wealthy students here. But I am in a similar financial situation as you, and have never felt that anyone doesn’t “accept” that, whatever that means. I come from a town where nobody is rich, really. So it’s been interesting to meet people who were raised much differently than I.</p>
<p>Otis, a $4,000 loan cap in the financial aid package doesn’t indicate $16,000 debt at graduation… therefore, the statement about the loan cap isn’t misleading. It’s true. Most students choose to take out their own additional loans in order to cover whatever tuition is NOT covered by their financial aid package, hence the additional debt. That’s out of UR’s hands.</p>
