It’s all right here. There are

ASK!!!!

Make sure your chosen career will
earn enough to allow you to pay back the loan at a reasonable
rate within a reasonable amount of
time.

Pages 36-37This is what your college will send to you to let you know how much financial aid you can expect in order to attend their school. The higher the tuition, the more money you may get.

So what does that all mean?
It means that after all financial aid has been accounted for, you could possibly even go to a PRIVATE school for LESS money than you could attend a PUBLIC school!
