How much did you take out in College Loans?

[rita727]

How much (in loans) did you take out/ or see yourself taking out, by the time you graduate?

[This isn't to make anyone feel bad. I just got my financial gift package; NOT what I was hoping for...)

 

[Seeker of the Truth]

Ehh, by the time I transfer and graduate, I probably should have taken out around 12k.

 

[Marycita]

hm...by the time I graduate?....probably at least 25k.....oy

 

[complexity]

By the time I graduate it will prolly be about $24 k for myself and an additonal $16k in parent loans

 

[BrianN]

I'm at about $20k for my undergraduate studies, entering as high as additional $100 k for overseas graduate degrees (2) if I don't get help. Hopefully I will...

 

[Stratiotes]

So far only 3 or 4k, but I still have a ways to go.

 

[shadistarr]

all together... 1,200 I went to State school and most of it was covered by financial aid. Yay government money

 

[Julianne]

I'm still paying mine off, I've just started this year and already paided $2,000! Phew...so by the time I'm finished atleast 20k I think.

 

[Ioustinos]

Went to a private school and had to pay for college myself so I graduated owing around $70,000.

 

[lenac03]

A lot. A real stinking lot.

Same with me

 

[Isomorphic410]

I'm covering everything... This past year (freshman year) was a pretty nice dent, as IU requires that all freshman live in the (ridiculously overpriced) dorms and buy a food plan of no less than $2400... so I'm $18k in so far. The next few years shouldn't be that much, and by the time it's all over I should be about $40k in

I went to Taylor University, and had very little financial support. I left due to circumstances beyond my control in the middle of my senior year, owing approximately $60,000. I'm still working on my degree, but my current employer is reimbursing me to finish my degree.

My advice to anyone considering private schools: unless you're going to get a degree in something that the school specializes in (i.e. bible college for a degree in biblical studies, pastoral ministries, etc.) I think you'd be much wiser to invest your money in a decent public school, so that you won't be held-back by your debt after college.

[seamonster]

$3k.

For the most part I worked my way through.

 

[Ellesar]

I'm attending a private Christian university, so I have a lot. it's worth it though, imo

 

[Reborn_in_Christ2003]

So far I have about 20K with just two years of college.

 

[yodafett]

My first 2 years were paid for at a State University, then I transferred to a Bible college, throwing about 1/2 of my credits away. It was worth it though, knowing that I'd have a degree that meant something to me, and that I'd know the truth of the knowledge. I'm in for about $7500 so far, and still have about 2 years left.

 

[JonMiller]

about 24k for undergrad (went to private Christian college)

so far over 35k for grad school (maybe 45k), the problem being is that I have made enough money in grad school to have not had any if I had been more responsible with my food and entertainment budgets

At least you're being honest bout it.

 

[redheadskiangel]

Honestly I don't know off the top of my head.... all i know is that it is WAY too much, but it will be worth it.. I am also attending a Christian University.
