Borrow the minimum amount you need to pay for tuition and books. Try to work a part time job to cover room and board. Really think it through. That kind of money will last maybe one year then you'll need another loan. I ended up with $10K in student loans at 8%. It took me around 12 years to pay off and I paid around $6K in interest. The average loans people are finishing school with are $18k. Thats the average for public college not private. $35k a yr average for private. Even with a $65k a yr job those amounts are unbelievably hard to pay off. And the interest really adds to the difficulty of repayment. I thought I'd never get my loan paid off.
