<![CDATA[Student Loans]]>I just had some general questions on these. If anyone can help that would be greatly appreciated. Here is my situation. I am going to be a freshman this fall at UND. I got approved for something around $2,000 for financial in some sort of a grant. Instead of paying for the other amount that will be left over right now out of pocket, can i take a student loan to cover it? How do these work? Pros/Cons. Anything anyone can tell me about this would be great. Thanks in advanced!

Now if you were only approved for $2k after filling out the FAFSA paperwork then you'll likely not be getting some of the govt loans I did and you'll probably be stuck looking at banks for the loan.

Cons... you'll be paying out the ass for the next 20 years of your life and if I take mine to term will be out a little over $20k extra on about $36k in loans.
