How much debt would u say is reasonable?
I’m not gonna go into specifics, but my parents agreed to pay a little more than what was initially agreed given I pay them back after I graduate and pay off my other student loans. I would need to take out around 70k total for all four years plus or minus 5k depending on if living expenses go up or down. For stony, I would still need to take on debt, but only around 25k which is more than covered by federal loans whereas for UIUC, over half would be private.
