Did you get your financial aid package yet?

<p>I am still waiting for mine. I want to see how much I have to pay before I decide which college I will be attending.</p>

<p>Ohhh. The package came in the mail today!</p>

<p>about $46000 in aid and the estimated cost of attendance is $43902. I’m definitely going to Fordham now!</p>

<p>butterstraw: you do understand that all of your aid has to be paid back, correct? You were not just given a gift of $46,000. You will owe $46,000 times 4 = $184,000 in debt when you graduate.</p>

<p>amicuscuriae4, doesn’t that depend on whether the aid was grant vs. loans? If butterstraw received $46K/year in grants, she or he does not have to pay it back.</p>

<p>Oh. I didn’t read correctly. it says the federal loans are estimated to be $2000 a year.</p>
