Hi all,

I am looking for a little financial aid advice. I really don't know how much money I am going to need for next year (first year of med school). I've worked out a budget and have a general idea, but I could be way off. Is it best to take out close to the maximum amount the first year and then figure out what you'll really need for the 2nd year and adjust your loans accordingly? Can you "give back" any money you don't use that you borrowed? ]

I know the unsubsidized loans accrue interest like crazy, but I just really don't want to be worrying about $$ when I'm trying to do well in med school.

Thanks for your help!
