Vandy didn’t package any loans. They did offer the $2,500 work study. My parents are willing to co-sign, take out PLUS loans or whatever it takes if I really want to attend Vanderbilt. I only have one sibling and he is 12 years old, so not sure how that will affect the student aid offers. That you @happymomof1 for the advice on the Financial Aid Forum. I’ll check into it. Thank you @MYOS1634 for the compliment on the ACT score And yes @SouthernHope there are some other concerns about Vandy aside from the financial aspects. I am concerned that having been in a high school that doesn’t offer challenging courses, so I worry I may not be prepared for Vanderbilt. Now that it’s time to decide, I am also a little hesitant to be 9 hours from home. I can sum it up like this - I will be so excited to go to Vanderbilt, but yet very nervous! I will not be particularly excited to attend KU, but I will also won’t be nervous.
