<p>And my parents would probably be willing to help me out as much as possible [20k for 4 years?] anyways the money isn’t really the issue as I will always be able to pay loans off easily if I do join the medical field</p>
<p>Ha! No. Med school is going to rack up $200k - 300k in loans, so racking up loans for undergrad is a very bad idea. You could end up with $400k+ in loans. Newish doctors aren’t earning enough to make those kind of payments. </p>
<p>besides, your parents would have to be willing and qualified co-signers of those undergrad loans that exceed the low federal amounts. </p>
<p>Are you saying that your parents will pay $20k each year? or $20k total? Don’t guess…ASK them. Students often do not have a good handle on how much their famlies will pay without having the actual conversation. Ask them. :)</p>
