Ok, so I got into grad school and now I need to figure out all this loan stuff. I had a scholarship for college so I didn't have to take out a loan, but now I need to and I have no idea what I'm doing. I think I will need about $35,000 a year and I'm going for two years. I think the $35,000 should cover tuition, books, etc. Also, I'm going to need about $200 a month just to commute to school b/c of transportation so I'm not sure if I can include that in my loan, but I think I can. Also, I'm trying to figure out what bank or lender would be good to take out the loan and when I should go to take it out before I run into any penalties or whatever. Also, how do I calculate how much interest will be added on after my two years of taking out the loan? I've read some stuff online and more specifically on this forum about loans and whatnot, but I'm still confused so any help you guys can give me would be much appreciated.
