Is it worth it to take out student loans?
I’ve been constantly going back and forth between shooting for a big name school (and taking on the loans that go with it)and going where I know I can get an education for basically free. I feel like expert opinions could really help as, especially with undergrad, it seems like it isn’t worth the pressure and extra money. With a 1520 and a 5.2 I’m fairly confident I can get into a decent school, but I don’t know if I want to take on big loans and debt for my future self. Open to suggestions #student #college

Will having my own student income negatively influence my eligibility of financial aid?
Recently, I've been researching the costs of attendance at various colleges and universities, mainly private institutions. Through my research, I've discovered that even though the sticker price is quite high, these universities provide their students with hefty amounts of financial aid and grants/scholarships.

If so, is it better to not get a job at all and just stick to volunteering? #job-search #student #financial-services #financial-aid
