Total Loan Amount

Would anyone care to divulge the amount of loans they took out to attend school? I am quite overwhelmed at the amount of money I am going to need to get through school. Just want to know I am not in this boat alone. I know my priority is the academics, but the money is consuming my every thought. Thanks for your help!!!!

$190,000

87,000 and my wife worked the whole time to help out with bills. I attended Midwestern Univ. ( a private Univ. ) not known for its cheap tuition.

80,000

45,000 (that includes 6,000 from undergrad)

Should I get in, I'll be looking at about 200k. May be less, could be a little bit more...

Thanks for the replies. I do feel somewhat better knowing I have folks in similiar situations.

$190,000

Dude, how much is your monthly payment????

what would be the main reasons for such a HUGE difference in loan amount from person to person?

for example, one person said they took out $190,000...and then another person only about $40,000.

$190,000?

Is this for grad school? Private undergrad? I am curious to know.

Different schools charge from around $20,000 to over $50,000 plus books, travel to and from clinicals, living, ext . With me it was that plus my rn, bsn, I'll together reached very close to some of the high numbers. Payments well I had to find a job to support repayment and living . To me the end justified the means , love helping people. Also love being on my own in all of my pratice.:wink2:

lmdscd... what type of nursing do you do?? You mentioned you are "on your own in all of your pratice".....

I am curious.. thanks! :smokin:

Places you live will effect how much is spent and schools range from $20,000 to over $50,000 travel to clinical, books, if you have a family it all adds up. With me my nurse degree plus bsn,and master it for me added up to close to some of these numbers. I had to find a job to support my repayments and living. The end justified the means, love helping people and love practicing on my own !:wink2:
