<p>(My last post was a train wreck and I was half understood. I do NOT need $70k a year. My college tuition is a complete total of $43k all together, NOT yearly!! I thought I explained that. Everyone saying I can't take out over $200k in loans had me so confused. It was only a ONE TIME LOAN NOT YEARLY. I'm starting to think I don't even need $70k at all now. So how about $50k?) So below is an updated story :). I hope its explained better? If not just ask for me to clear it up for you.</p>
<p>So I'm leaving for college in about less than a year May 2015 (I'm leaving in the summer so I can become familiar with the area before school starts.) Yes I know it's a good while from now but I need advice on some things. I live in Louisiana but I will be moving to LA for college, for 3 years. The school I'm going to suggest us getting apartments and have a list for us to choose from. The cost is about $875-$1,400 a month. My mom has money but not enough to take care of herself here and support me in LA. I was trying to do scholarships but that did NOT work out. It's just so hard and I don't want to depend on them and in the end get my hopes up. So I wanted to do loans. My college tuition is right at a total of $43k (NOT YEARLY! FOR MY COMPLETE DEGREE). So I know I will need loans regardless. I was thinking about doing a loan for about maybe $50k to help pay for school and pay my apartment rent up a year or so. Then give the rest back. I know it sounds like much, something I probably won't be able to pay off any time soon. I'm going to film school and a lot of producers and actors had to take a leap of faith so here I am too. I wanted to know around how much you guys think I should get? Do you think I would get approved for that much? I know I will need private loans as well.Can I just get a little advice on it all? What are my chances at actually getting enough in loans to afford school and be able to pay rent? How much do you guys think I really need to get?</p>
<p>I really do have a lot of questions about financial aid and how it all works. So could someone please email me at grant donald 04 AT gmail DOT COM after posting here so I can ask a few more questions?</p>
<p>Here is the link to my first post that turned into a train wreck. Hopefully everyone understands now. </p>
