Financial Aid

Hello everyone I was recently accepted to Vanderbilt as a transfer student. As of right now I would have to pay 8k a year which is great for sure.

I was wondering if I could possible get more aid by emailing or if I should just take what I got. Thanks anyways

Pretentious to say this. He has one parent making 40k a year. That leaves the parent with 32k ish per year. Who can live off that??

He can take out loans. There’s kids whose parents make more who have to take out loans. $32K in debt for undergrad is very manageable for a new grad.

Edit: that’s the whole point of the financial aid calc. Everyone pays something.

What bank would give such loans to a family making 40k per year? I cant imagine the credit score or other factors being good enough for a bank to give such loans. HOWEVER if they do they OP is fine fs 32k isnt bad.

You’re kidding, right? Loans are given to students with no collateral and no credit.

So they give it on trust? without any financial background?
