A borrower is offered a loan of \$10,080 at 10% and a loan of \$7000 at 12%. If the larger loan is 6 mo shorter but the total interest payed is the same, find the length of...

Ok so I about to take out my first loan for college- a big one. But I figure that I am in engineering I will be making quite a bit of money and won't have to worry about it. What are your experiences with loans? Advice?

So for the first time I took a look at the details of my monthly student loan payment info and found out that of the roughly $320 I pay every month for my student loans $200 of that money goes to paying off the interest! How exactly is this legal? Why can't I pay off all the principal first...

I got a federal subsidized loan and had to take out extra via Sallie Mae. Ummm... how does that work with grad school? I admit I was dumb enough not to ask when I was applying, but they said you have 10 years to repay, so I thought you wouldn't start repaying until you were completely out of...

I live in Canada. I want to take a loan from the bank for university because I don't want to go to university in my home town. How do I go about doing this? Do I have to give up anything in order to do this. Could you help me.

I’m starting school in September and I’ll need to apply for a student loan soon. I’ll be going to a university in Ontario, Canada. Anyway, I’m not sure how much to apply for because I have a bunch of scholarship applications still pending approval, so I think I might just apply for the max and...

Not sure if this is the right place for this question but this seems the best place to me. So after I graduate (with a Bachelor's degree) my loans require repayment after a 6 month grace period. One option I have with that is to defer the loans (make it so I don't have to pay back right away)...

Hey guys. Thanks for reading. I haven't done any regular algebra in a long time and feel like I am just too rusty to see something that I should be seeing. I am weighing the option of buying a house vs. renting for a year and then buying (giving me a larger down payment and a better apr on the...

I currently have a BA in Philosophy from 2008 and am interested in getting an MS in Electrical Engineering. Are the loans worth it? Does the salary typically outweigh the cons of the loans? How is the employment out there for electrical engineers? Does anyone have any idea as to how my BA...

Hey guys, so my parents just recently decided that i need to move out. Now they originally said that they would take care of all my tuition fees as long as i paid for my living expenses. I was told by my adviser that it really wasn't a good idea if i worked more than 10 hours a week in order to...

Hello, I'm a permanent resident of the US and some years ago I began my studies in a US university on grants+loans. After my first year, I found myself in a terrible financial and living situation which forced me to move back to Europe and I ended up defaulting on my school loans (under $5k)...

Did you take it (or are you taking it) in college and if so, then how much? And would are you thoughts about paying it back with small grad school/post doc etc salaries?

For my first year at community college I was short ~$600 since financial aid didn't cover all my expenses, so when I went to multiple banks to see if I could take out a loan, they all labelled me as a credit liability because I didn't have any credit nor a job at the time. I had to borrow the...

I'm a little behind on this topic. Will there be a student loan bubble burst? What consequences does that carry for students and everyone else? I don't understand why there would be a bailout? This might sound a bit idealistic, but could they stop collecting debts with percentage until a student...

Hey everybody! First post here, love the forum/site. I'm seeking some college advice. I live in North Carolina, and have been accepted into Western Carolina and NC State for electrical engineering. I'm trying to figure out which to attend. WCU was only my backup school (close to my house)...

I recently had a friend pop up on my news feed with a link to a promo video, with the video saying that the US should forgive student debt on the basis that the (former) students won't be able to pay it back without basically crushing them financially. It kind of got me thinking about how...

Hello all. I would like to know what an average number for a private student loan (e.g., from Wells Fargo, etc.) interest rate would be right now. Ballpark would be great. I have tried googling but just got walls of information without any real numbers. Are we talking under 5%? 5-10%? More?

Hi guys, it's 3 AM so don't judge me. I'm doing some accounting work with my student loans and I want you to confirm something for me: If I have two loans: $1,598 @ 6.8% F-APR $6,680 @ 3.8% F-APR Then the 'equivalent' single loan would be: $8,278 @ 4.38% F-APR Correct? I used a...

I just finished my first year as a math/chem. major and have been toying with the idea of going to grad school right after undergrad to go for a PHD.(Not sure if I want to do applied math or physical chem, yet).

Hello! Not sure of this is the right place for this question, but here it is anyway: It concerns the International Monetary Fund, I was wondering how the interest on IMF loans are apportioned. I suppose a consideration of how loans are provided is necessary. For example, I do not know if all...

or pay a prepayment penalty? Il

I've never had a student loan before, but I just looked at one and the interest was ridiculous. You end up paying more than twice the amount you received. Is there, by any chance, a place that offers student loans at no interest, or very low interest? Thanks.

I saw this snippet in a newspaper today: When I saw this, I didn't feel remorse for the banks. I almost laughed out loud. Then I worried that I was laughing at the suffering of others... Then I remembered that the "others" were banks, and I felt happy again. Has anyone exhibited similar...

At an Ivy League Engineering school

I am analyzing my payment options for my last year of college and I just wanted to confirm this: You do not have to make payments for your undergrad Stafford loans if you are enrolled as a full-time student in a PhD program--right? In other words, interest may accumulate, but I would not be...

Paid off my student loans! Not 100% accurate, but I did file for a final payment submission for next week and my paycheck clears this weekend. I'm too excited to wait until then. FREEDOM! :cool: :eek: :!) All in all it was a little over $25,000 since I started paying in Feb. 2007. My goal...

So, for essentially every physics program in the U.S. (including the one I'm about to start at =), you get a tuition waiver and a reasonable stipend for the hours that you put in, but it's less hours than I'm used to. So essentially, I would dread having a TA appointment, a full graduate...
