<p>What are your parents saying? How much will they pay each year?</p>
<p>It sounds like they have to reserve their funds for medical expenses. If they can’t pay much, then you really won’t have a choice.</p>
<p>YOU can only borrow the Stafford loan amounts. To borrow more requires qualified co-signers. It doesn’t sound like your parents would want that risk if they have medical expenses to cover.</p>
<p>However, if one of your schools surprise you with more money, then that’s great.</p>
