Levitas, thank you for your reply !! You've made some good points, it looks like ill just have to figure it out when i get there and see exactly what i can do. I would hate to take out more loans but if it has to happen then so be it. I hope i can be second in my class haha, i have no problem working hard, loosing social life or whatever, those things won't get me where i want to be. The only thing that will help me reach that goal is if i work towards it. once again, Thank you for the reply and information.
