Hello! If you don’t mind me asking, what schools are you applying to that are that expensive? I am starting CRNA school in the fall and my tuition for the program will be somewhere around 70-80K, including books and materials. Even factoring in the cost of living for 2-3 years I can’t imagine how you would be spending over 180K to get you to that amount of student loan debt.... Either way make sure to do your research beforehand and see what kinds of financial aid each school offers. Many people go into debt in CRNA school but everyone’s financial situation and financial support at home is different. Also, all of the schools near me have closed their applications for this next round months ago, so I’m surprised any schools are still accepting applications for fall at this time. You still have some time to be working overtime hours to set some money aside too! Good luck to you!
