Hello,
I’m a cc student who recently got admitted into a study abroad program through UW-Madison. Because this study abroad program is through another institution besides my current institution, I am not able to get my expenses funded.
I have come to my last option and, that is, a private student loan. I don’t mind taking out a loan for this program because it’s going to give me great experience for my future career. However, I am also going to be transferring this fall and most likely need to take a student loan for the remaining costs of my tuition. Will taking out a student loan for this study abroad program affect my chances of getting another student loan later this year for my transfer university costs? I’m at the point where I’m debating whether I should even study abroad this summer due to this issue. Would appreciate the help, thanks!
