Paying For School

Can anyone give me the rundown on how the majority of students accomplish this? I just don't really understand how the different loans work: how much are payments, length of repayment, when they come into effect...

any help appreciated.

loans are a burden. but i think that's what most students do. start filing FAFSA now and just take whatever they give you , unless you or your parents are rich. i'm considering the HPSP.

Student loans seems to be the easiest way. Most people do it that way and they pay it of within 30 years depending on the persons personality. I would get your taxes done and then do FASFA like nemo says.

Loans are just about everyone's way to pay. You might end up taking several different loans out, and paying them all off over 20 years or so at about 6-7 percent interest. If you plug this in to an Excel Loan Amortization table you will be amazed to see how much money you spend on interest alone. By amazed I mean disgusted. Try not to barf.
