What am I missing? Either way, your parents pay roughly the same amount, within a few thousand. The difference is to you, in loans and work study. Will you need to increase loans in the following years? You can. But assuming you kept it to 2500/year, that’s a 10k debt. I’m not checking, but probably a little over $100/month after grad. Or you just pay it off, once employed.

Is there a student contribution now or in the next years? If not, you could eliminate needing a loan by kicking in from summer earnings.
