Well, turns out I can't get in. I don't have a cosigner that will qualify to take out 40k

Can you afford monthly payments?

fancyeyes, BSN, RN · Jan 9, 2013

How much was it monthy? I have no money and I doubt my parents could afford it. I didn't realize that federal loans were only 10k...and I don't think I could get a private loan. Plus private loans are RISKY because you can't get Income Based Repayment and the interest rate could go up to 10%!

I visited WCU last year , I really like the school but 133k is not affordable for me. How do you pay this back ?? It will be at least $1500 out of your salary for several years AM I RIGHT ?

Some pre reqs were done, the GI Bill paid direct and my GI bill housing allowance was given to the school every month so I paid monthly.

You can still pay monthly some of the amount so it's not a full loan.
