<p>Happymom,</p>
<p>My mother actually has worked in financial aid at a local CC (yes, I realize that CCs are way cheaper than private schools - I just mean that she has experience in that particular field) for almost ten years now, so we are aware of the costs of college, how federal and state aid works, and how much we are expected to pay 
But thanks for the heads-up; I’ve heard my mom tell stories about people who have never thought paying for education would be an issue . . . yikes.</p>
<p>But yes, you are right, attending med school is insanely expensive and so really saving some money now would definitely be nice (duh haha) 
Definitely another thing I will factor into my decision. I’ll take a look through that list and see if there is anything that sounds like a good fit for me. Thank you for your time!</p>
