Public student loans have income based repayment. Assuming you go to a state school and don't live on campus, the debt isn't a big deal.

And if you get into very top tier private school, the networking alone is definitely worth it.

only for very specific programs, doing very specific work. I looked into it. it's not a general program - at least, when I was dealing with my 10s of thousands of dollars..


Nope. Income based repayment is available for all federal student loans.

There's a limit of $30k for dependent students and $60k fo independent students. For direct federal undergrad loans in general, not for income based repayment.
