I just think it is stressful enough to go to school, play baseball, deal with all the pressure of finding a job, and then have a 144K loan at 7% interest to worry about paying off. We are in-state... when did in-state schools become so out of reach??
Usually, only when they are a private school option or very prestigious. Are there no reasonable public options? Have you checked into the "neighboring states" tuition discount programs?
