@mrs. b - Unfortunately, I understand the loan part too well (still paying on a student loan from 10+ years ago), plus have been reading the thread here where the young fellow is wanting to take the $25,000 loan (yikes!) I actually have a spreadsheet set up that I plugged everything into, that if I switched tuition plans and only used worse case of 18 credits (9 enrolled, 6 needed for sure and 3 maybe) I'd be saving $850. I'd still have to come up with $1500 or $2800 for organic/biochem and as a single mom, if I had that kind of money, I wouldn't need the financial aid. I can only somewhat justify it as I am investing in myself (and my daughters) future, as well as the loan is at more reasonable rate than I could procure elsewhere.
Next Goal - MS in Pharmacy, Major Pharmaceutical Sciences, concentration Forensic Science via University of Florida
