How does this work exactly? My dh is going to start med school next year and we are trying to look at all our options. Can someone tell me about how student loans work? I've done the general reading and I know about Stafford, etc from undergrad, but how does this Medloans thing work? I see that you can borrow up to $220,000- is that for everyone? I anticipate that he will be attending a fairly inexpensive state school, so tuition won't be our main expense.
Also, if you are living off loans entirely, do you qualify for govt assistance, specifically WIC, child care assistance, or Medicaid?
Currently I stay home with 2 young kids and though I definitely could work, it doesn't seem it would make a lot of sense since most of that $$ would go to day care.
