Rice vs. Emory

<p>Yeah, we’ve working out the logistics with loans and possibly a payment system.</p>

<p>Actually, we haven’t specifically picked a loan program or anything like that. But we have some idea of what we want to do. Are there any tips that would be helpful when considering loans and other methods of paying for Rice?</p>

<p>^ go check out the financial aid forum on CC. Lots of great advice there and answers you can trust.</p>

<p>In short, all that you can take in your name is the $5500 subsidized (interest doesn’t start until you finish school, or quit, etc). If your parents apply and are turned down for a parent plus loan, I believe you can get $4000 more, in your name. </p>

<p>Ideally, you will keep your loan debt for all 4 years total at or below $20k.</p>

<p>Just to clarify… We visited Rice this weekend and there IS a business minor for undergrads consisting of 6 classes and access to the business grad school. It sounded like a great compliment to other studies.</p>

<p>Correct- there is a business MINOR, not a business MAJOR.</p>
