<p>Ok…you are independent for financial aid purposes. So you would get an additional $4000 per year of Direct Loans…so for that first year…$9500, second year $10500. </p>
<p>There is a net price calculator on every college website. You enter your information and it gives you a decent estimate of your potential aid and net cost at that school. Problem is…if you are a transfer student it won’t be accurate. I’m not sure it is accurate for independent students either. </p>
<p>Can you meet your living expenses with the above loans and a part time job?</p>
