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!!!!

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.

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

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:
