[color=gray]hi ilovemycoastie98!

[color=#808080]thanks for responding! while i am glad to know that mci offers a payment plan,

[color=#808080]i am not prepared to pay $1700 or more in monthly payments. at my undergrad

[color=#808080]institution, payments were around $300 or a little more because payments were

[color=#808080]started before the semester actually began.

[color=#808080]i know the price differential is a factor [color=#808080]with mci however, that is too much money

[color=#808080]for me to pay at this point. [color=#808080]i thought the payment plan was [color=#808080]different however, i am

[color=#808080]going to have to look into [color=#808080]the community colleges for my [color=#808080]nursing education.

[color=#808080]according to fafsa, i do not have any money left to fund another undergrad

[color=#808080]education. god will make a way :up:

[color=#808080]thanks again :D

Have you talked to anyone in the Financial Aid Department at MCI? I dont know much about paying out of pocket and all but I have spent many of hours in their office and I overheard something about them doing an in house type of loan for those who qualify...I dont know if that is something different than their payment plan or whatever they offer but I would ask...also, Sallie Mae offers career training loans and other loans that you can get as well and you can make payments on those and it is not bad. I pay on one loan and it is like 97.00 a month...you can chose to pay intrest only, intrest and principle, or you can chose to start repaying 6 months after you are out of school. To me, MCI is high in price but it is worth it if you can graduate in 15 months because you will be on the road to a career with income sooner and I can repay my loans faster with less intrest on them! Hope you find what works for you :)

[color=gray]thank you for this information! i have yet to speak to anyone at mci about financial aid.

[color=#808080]i plan to attend the open house tomorrow @ 10am! i have a complete list of questions for

[color=#808080]them :)

[color=#808080]

[color=#808080]i definitely believe that mci is worth the price because it's an accelerated program. i will check

[color=#808080]tomorrow and find out all of the financial details/issues. i am not really interested in sallie mae

[color=#808080]but the monthly payment sound great :wink2:

[color=#808080]

[color=#808080]well, thanks again for the reply!

Yes, Yes...ask LOTS of questions. I never went to an open house, it would have been nice to have had that chance! I deal with Sallie Mae for my federal loans and I find that the times I have needed to use them for private type school loans...they by far had the lowest interest rates...mine are around 3% and I like having all my loans through the same company, makes it much easier to handle them all...LOL (I have loans from 4 different schools:eek:)!

I was wondering the same thing as well. I am scheduled to take the Chemistry class 9/15 then math and computer class is in October. I am so scared I will not do well in the Chemistry class. I have some review notes another MCI RN student gave to me and since I have a month before the class start I figured I would use my time wisely.

If you need the Chemistry notes I would be happy to forward them to you.

if u can could u please forward me the chemistry notes, i am about to start the chemistry class soon. you can contact me via pm. thanks

Does anyone know when the start dates are for the NN campus? I'm considering for August time frame and would like to know if it is a start date of August or September. I'm trying to figure out before and after school care for my kids, etc. I think that will be the biggest headache is trying to work my kids care around the hours of the school.

Hey! I'm starting my chem and math pre-reqs Dec 15th too, maybe we'll be in the same class :) I think we will be fine. The classes are 4 hours long, so I think we'll get a lot of hands on learning :)
