Hi SDN
Been awhile since I have posted but I'm in the midst of signing an apartment lease and starting dental school at NYU and I'm kind of freaking out over how expensive this next 4 years will be. For my first year I'm going to take out my full amount of loans, approximately $109,00. This will cover tuition and my rent...my parents may help with my groceries and other small necessary purchases. Anyways, I'm debating if I should sign a lease for this nice $2500 per month studio that is literally right next to the school or if I should opt for a cheaper place without the bells and whistles.
I'm estimating that I'll take out about $410K in loans over my 4 years, should I worry?
All in all, do you think it is safe to max out on loans and live semi-lavishly while in D-school or should I still be a penny pincher like I was in undergraduate?
Would love some input from some recent grads!
Thanks guys
