<p>Estimated COA is 25,104 from the website my only concerns are those loans.</p>
<p>I know I've been flooding the board with random threads but now since my Waitlist,acceptances, and rejects are mostly out I can focus on the real problems money and transfering.</p>
<p>I would recommend taking everything but the unsubsidized loans. Do you think you could cover the remaining ~$4,000? From what you’ve gotten, your actual COA will be very low.</p>
<p>I don’t believe so 
but I can ask to see if my family can chip in, though I doubt they will since they want me to go to a CC.</p>
<p>I’m not against CC but getting a “fallback Degree” in something I don’t really have a passion for is annoying. It only detours me.</p>
<p>If you cannot find a way to cover the remainder, then take the unsubsidized. Just know that you will be paying interest on the loan even when you are still in school. The rate, though, is lower than a private vendor would charge. I believe if you took that, it would cover the COA? </p>
<p>Loans are not unusual coming out of undergrad, and those who go to private universities often have them. Think of this as an investment in your future. If you believe your return on investment will be better going to UConn than a CC (which I would say is the case) then take the loans and go. If you don’t think it is worth it, then don’t go. Either way, this is your future, and you need to make the decision, especially if you will be paying for any remaining amount.</p>
<p>Well do they give scholarships to undergrads?</p>
<p>Yes, but you should have received notification of scholarships with your financial aid. In addition, any scholarships you received would replace your other financial aid. In other words, if you received a $5000 scholarship, it would replace $5000 of grants you received. The same is true for most universities and colleges.</p>
<p>Oh, I meant while earning my undergradute degree could I qualify for scholarships?</p>
<p>School ones because I still plan on applying for outside ones.</p>
<p>There are scholarships you may apply for once you are an undergraduate.</p>
<p>Is there anyway to ask for another subsidized loan?</p>
<p>You can appeal to the financial aid office, but as far as a I know, you get what you get.</p>
