First if all, its 100k, unless its med school, which its 200k

~160k tuition
~20k school supplies (alot are required)
~40k rent (if youre lucky)
Wow! Already past the 200k

Tuition at my med school is 200k alone, cost of attendance is about 90k per year bc not everyone has parental support and needs to pay rent and other expenses with loan money

It's not like other loans don't exist, but like cmon 150k for bachelors and 200k for professional should be all you really need.

That’s still so much money

Maybe college shouldn’t be 150k.
You know. Just a thought.

Keep in mind, this is already ignoring any federal loans you already have from your bachelors degree, which adds on average another 30k.

Nope, the federal loans cap is just 100k for any graduate program. For med/law its 200k

Where are you even getting these numbers my man, the “big beautiful bill” was very specific in the 100k and 200k cap

If u did graduate, professional and bachelors u can go over that so they put in hard cap

Like from my understanding if u do 100k on bachelors then you can do 157k of the 200k for med school

Youre just objectively wrong my man. The 200k cap is a 200k cap. You cant borrow more than that

If you borrow 50k for your bachelors, you now can only borrow 150k for med school or 50k for a masters. Thats how its writteh

Ok i see where we are confused here. Im talking about individual programs, youre talking about lifetime all program limit.

It's in there so i thought the caps were for that school with a 257k limit

The 257k is a lifetime limit.
It means in youre entire lifetime, you cannot borrow more than that much
Each individual program has its own limits

For undergraduate programs, they have their own limits, you cannot borrow more than 7k a year in my state for them.

You can still get the higher federal loans right

Heres how it works
For undergrad (bachelors, associates), federal loans are capped usually by situation/state, mine is 7k per year.
For graduate programs (masters) you can only take out a total of 100k for a program in your lifetime for federal loans
For doctors/law, its 200k

Youre TOTALLY (graduate + undergraduate) cannot exceed 257k
Your parents can take out 65k in their lifetime, but only 20k per child

Idk about a masters, but med/law degrees cost more than 200k if you count the fact that you need supplies, housing, and food. It doesnt help that working while in med school is incredibly difficult

No it's 20k per year 65k limit for child

Laws only 3 years, you should def be able to do that off 200k, also law is popular to do in 4 working a lot of hours. Doctors the tough one cuz it's 4 years but u don't make money right away

Still not enough to pay for college, and thats only if your parents apply/get accepted for those loans

The government also needs to make money. What are you on about?

Bruh if any other bank could operate like the government they'd be out of money. They don't get 30% of everyone's income and can still spend trillions more than they have.

Yes, because unlike the government, banks do not provide social benefits and services paid for by taxpayer dollars

The way #4 had to explain this to you because you were factually wrong and you’re still bending over backwards to try and defend this shit shows how hopelessly devoted you all are to Trump for no reason.
