Hi guys and gals,
I am about to start Medical school in less then a month and have taken out 65k for the first year (tuition is 50k). I already have loans from undergraduate worth 25k. By the time I graduate, I am going to have loans of about 285k (assuming I take out 65k every year).
This seems like a lot and more then other people I know who have already graduated. I just want to know that this isn't uncommon and SOME of you are also taking out such crazy loans. Please tell me some happy stories of people taking out such loans and paying them back w/o selling their kidney! I guess I just need some assurance as it is scary taking out such money when you know you will be in training for about 10 years and won't make money for a long time. Thanks!
