Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Maryland - College Park

<p>^ Maryland from the get-go is about 17,000/yr for in-state if you don’t take into account personal expenses and travel(which shouldnt be that much if you live in state). </p>

<p>Well I got a University of Maryland grant which is $3,900, pell grant was $2,000, work study $2,000 and like $6,500 in loans which give a total of $14,400. I think this is a pretty good financial package. I’ll would just have to pay about $3,000 if I chose to take the loans . If not I would pay about $9000 which is still cheaper than $12,000 for Boston. But it depends on you and your EFC and also your academics , I didn’t receive any scholarships but it is possibleyou might receive some.</p>

<p>My EFC is really low so I’m thinking its possible that I’ll get a substantial amount… Are you going there?</p>

23

<p>Yup ! I’m going already sent in my deposit</p>

<p>The loans are federal so I wouldn’t mind taking them out and I got some outside scholarships that will help lessen the amount of loans so I’m pretty satisfied with my package.</p>
