<p>Does that package include a student loan? If not, a full Stafford Loan for your freshman year would be $5,500, leaving only $1,500 for you to come up with.</p>
<p>However, that doesn’t account for increased costs each year as Dartmouth raises tuition etc. You may want to ask how that will work in future years.</p>
<p>You also need to double-check about that package at South Carolina. Do you need to maintaina certain GPA in order to keep it?</p>
