Schools ask for outstanding loans?

Hey guys,

I'm filling out the secondary for stony brook, and it asked what's the outstanding balance from all educational loans. I was wondering if this is something that I should just put $0 for and lie about it (do you think they could trace it?) or put the $20k down. Do you think it looks bad to the school if I have outstanding loans, especially if I'm international (canadian)? I don't want them to think I can't pay their tuition because I already have some loans under my name. I'm asking because if I can pay them off if I really need to.

Thanks

Lying is never the answer.

Just put down the $20K. Idk if you realize how many students are in debt... including me.. how else are you supposed to pay for school?

i had to put down 20k too. That is nothing compared to so many other people. I have a friend who is 100k in debt.

That is an...interesting question for a secondary.

You gotta put it down.
