Did you have student loans

Yes, for my undergrad (I did not go to Grad School). My Dad is paying for my student loans. My parents always told me that if I went to college they would pay for my undergrad and I would be responsible for Grad.

Re: Did you have student loans

No- I am very fortunate.

My parents paid for undergrad at a public, out of state college.

I got my masters while working full time, and my former employer paid for it.

Re: Did you have student loans

Yes, mostly for grad school, but some is from undergrad. I'm still paying and will be for another 15 years. This is one reason I will encourage my children to go to state schools.

Did you have student loans

yes, I do have loans for undergrad.. I am actually still attending. DH has about 20K in loans as well. We'll have about 40K in loans when I am done.

I was not fortunate enough to be able to live at home or have parental assistance. (By contrast, my brother's education was completely paid for by our parents including living expenses and a brand new car. He had no loans.)

Yup. Decided to go back to school and get my degree and even with scholarships I will have loans to pay back.

Re: Did you have student loans

Yes, and for more then i'd like to admit. Thank god DH doesn't have any loans (his parents picked up that tab) because I have enough for both of us. I feel like I'm going to be paying Sallie Mae the rest of my life. It totally sucks and I def learned my lesson. I turned down law school after not getting any financial aid (among other reasons). No way was I adding to the amout of student loan debt I have. Chat Icon

Re: Did you have student loans

No, thank God. My parents paid for all of my school out of pocket with the help of some scholarships so I would never need to worry about that debt. I am HOPING I will be able to do the same for Robbie and No.. but it's looking less and less likely..

No, I was very lucky, I did not have student loans. We put money aside for our children every month, since the day they were born so hopefully they will not either.

Re: Did you have student loans

Yes, private undergrad which my parents financed for the most part, but still I have a small loan that I am slowly paying off. I could pay the whole thing off, but Suze Orman says it's not worth it since I have such a low interest rate.

Grad school was CUNY and fully financed by my employer(s). No loans!! DH, on the other hand, private undergrad and grad. Undergrad he had a sports scholarship, but has HUGE loans from Hofstra for grad school. Chat Icon And, with the way the job market has been, he hasn't even been able to get a job with his degree. Awesome.
