<p>When is the last day to accept loans? I accepted grants and don't want to take out the loans unless absolutely necessary. I am still a little unsure about the cost of attendance I hear from 2,600 up to 6,500 just for tuition. Does anyone know what it is? I will be a freshmen in the fall. One final question I have read up on the loans and I narrowed down by options to the federal perkins loan and subsidized staffard loan ( both if necessary ) which is better choice better down the road. I know perkins loans is 5% fixed interest rate and just read that the staffard loan is 3.4%. Any help!!</p>

<p>If you are a full time undergraduate, your tuition is: $2,826</p>

<p>This does not include your cost of living. Will you commute, rent, or dorm?</p>

<p>I’m not sure there is a “last day” except the end of the semester. No where I’ve looked has said anything about a deadline for loans. But if you want to be safe, you’ll be okay waiting to accept until the actual start of classes.</p>

<p>I wasn’t eligible for the perkins loan, so I haven’t done any research on it. But if you have the option for a subsidized stafford loan I believe thats the best choice. No interest until you leave school. The unsubsidized does accrue interest while attending, so make sure you pick the right one.</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure there is no deadline to accept loans. jrairship, is right tuition right now is around $2,900, although it is expected to increase again, I doubt it will reach anywhere near $6,500.</p>
