    manusko replied to metallicaman1031's topic in General Students

    If you graduate with 200-250k in student loan debt I seriously hope you have a masters at the very least. That's worse than out of state tuition at a state university. Where is up here? I know that...

  8. Worried about paying off student loan debt

    manusko replied to metallicaman1031's topic in General Students

    Yes but if you make the payments over 10 years your loans will already be paid off unless you qualify for the pay as you earn adjustment. This made more sense when loan repayments were over 20

    manusko replied to Joebinks's topic in Advanced Practice

  25. How many hours do you study a day?

    manusko replied to losilva95's topic in General Students
