hello everyone.
Was just looking at the FAFSA for dental school and noticed they offered me like
20k in direct unsubsidized
And like 85k in the DIRECT GRAD plus loan...

I know nothing about loans and my family has recently gone from being considered high income to low income (dad lost his job)..

I wanted to know, is there a better deal I can get in a loan? From what I heard the GRAD plus should be your last option and the direct usub should be majority of the tuition? Also, do private schools give that federal Perkins loan? Is that the best one? Please educate me and advice me. If I can fight for a better deal I will. I just want to know what the typical norm is for schools so I don’t get played?
