How much do you owe in loans?

babbz · Apr 20, 2006

In NYC I am paying $3,000 a year to go to nursing school at BMCC. It's a good school, very popular and there is usually a waiting list to get into the nursing program. Are you going to a community college, private or what? (to pay $8,000 yearly)? Anyway, since the school isn't very expensive I haven't done the loan thing yet ($0 in loans). I might have to do it when I get to the tougher aspects of nursing school though. Getting a loan means not working as much and that'll give me the time I need to study more. What classes were you taking before nursing?

i just finished semester 2/4. so far, i have done it with no loans. i am hoping that my sign on bonus will be more because most of the hospitals in my area pay off some of your educational debt.

If all goes as planned, I will graduate with $32,000 in student loans. I do occasionally have a fit about it.

Zero in loans.

When I started university it was $13/hour. After a hiatus it went up to $396 for 3 nursing courses.

Forgive me I neglected to mention this was in 1963 :)

I go to MSU in Beckley,WV. It is considered a "private":uhoh3: college and is sooo expensive. Tuition for 1 nursing course is about $900.00. So, I am unsure how much debt I will walk away with but it isn't going to be pretty. I already have about $8,000 for 2 semesters. Getting to go to nursing school for $8,000 is a GREAT deal! I wish all of us could be that blessed!

Now I don't feel so bad, not being rude or anything. 8,000 for 2 semesters is a lot.

I will be at the maximum I can borrow next semester ... 46,000 - I still have a year and a half to go. Not sure how I will pay for the last year and half, but will apply for A LOT of scholarships. Guess that is what I get for changing my mind about what I want to do for sooo many years.

I have about 49,000 - 53,000 in debt ... and I went to public university! :imbar :eek:

All of it is just tuition and books and supplies.

I worked two jobs to pay for rent, utilities, food, gas, insurance (health and car) and supplies for home.

On the rare occassion, I'd get an emergency bail out from Father.

I got a loooooooooooooooooot of money to pay back :rolleyes:

I will be graduating this year from a private school with over $50,000 in student loans. All I can say is I'm glad that this is my last semester and I don't have to add to that amount!
