loans dental school

This is the first time I'm taking out loans so very confused on how the process works. I will likely be taking out 130-200k over the next 4 years for dental school. Should I go private or federal or both? It seems like many people on these threads are against private loans, and I can't seem to...

Hi! I was wondering if I need to do anything other than applying to FAFSA at this point. Do the schools automatically take out the estimated COA and you return whatever you don’t need? Is there a separate application I need to fill for grad plus and direct plus loans? Thank you

I am divided between NYU and Buffalo. I am from brooklyn so I can stay home and commute which is 1 hour to an hour and 15 minutes. If I stay in buffalo then I save commuting time but I will live by myself so have to do cooking and other chores. NYU Pros: - GET HPSP and save $450,000 tuition and...

Which is better to take out, a private loan or a Grad Plus loan? Also, how does loan forgiveness work after graduation? Is it better to take out a Grad Plus loan (does it also count in loan forgiveness?)?

Hello Community, I have been fortunate enough to be accepted to both UCSF and UOP but I am having an agonizing time making a decision. In all honestly, I can see myself tremendously happy at both schools, so it is not a question of best fit, but what is best for my future. Since they're in...

Hi guys I hope everyone is doing well. Everyone knows how ridiculously competitive Canadian dental schools are so us Canadians are left going abroad to peruse our studies. Though this is a very great opportunity for us, the finance required is just outright frightening. So to those who have gone...
