Do we get enough loans during D-school?

Some schools will cost 100k+ each year (including living costs), can we get that much from loans? Or is there a chance we will come across problems?

Thanks

ask the students while you are at the school!

You can get 40-45k from stafford and then grad plus can take care of the rest. Stafford is 6.8% (max $8500 subsidized) and grad plus is 8.5% fixed.

You can go through private lenders but at your own risk. It might be more costly in the end. Between stafford and grad plus you SHOULD be able to cover it all.

Getting them is never the problem at that level because of the interest rates they can charge you in private lending. The hard part comes to paying them back if they lock you in at nasty interest rates.

Thanks for exact numbers
