I am fairly certain that I do not need to take out loans for the full cost of attendance for my medical school (their projected living costs are much higher than I expect to have). Can I take out less of the unsubsidized federal loans than I was offered in my financial aid package? If I discovered that I actually did need that money perhaps by the second semester, could I get the rest of the money then? Or is it better to take out the full amount from the beginning to avoid being stuck later?
I read in some threads that people use excess loan money to pay off other loans, how does this work? Would this be the best option in my case?
I was lucky enough to have great financial aid in undergrad so I haven't had to deal with this stuff before...but now I'm totally lost
