yea, so I was jus wonderin'. I been checkin' this shit out. And if anyone can help me understand this shit better. Like if I wanna loan an amount of money to pay for college, how would I kno if I'm eligible to take that amount? and also, how long will i have to pay them back?

Umm..they will tell you..it all depends on your income..<that will determine how much they give you...and i think it is ten years that you have to pay them back the money...

__________________

wait, I thought financial aid depended on your family income? Cuz I looked @ some shit, and it said that for student loans, it's good for people who's family has a good family income (as I do). But my parents bein' gay, so I wanna do this shit by myself, and pay it off. But thanks tho. But if anyone can help me out. holla

__________________

the question is do you have a job your self?..and when you fill out for it(your student loan)..do you apply for Family Student financial Aid or just a regular Student loan...

and this is wat i kno from experience....

__________________

oh, word, yo. And nah, I ain't have a job yet. Waitin' till I get my license. But yea, I don't kno that's why I wanna kno about this shit. My family makes good income, so I doubt they gonna let me do financial aid, so I mean I jus don't understand really how student loan works

Youget money for going to school, right, you can either live on campus, or live at home, or live in your own appeatment..which i think they give you monthy money for, or something...not sure..i lived on campus..anywho...yea..if your family helps you out, they will only give you lil money and they will base your financial aid on your parents and your income from last year..

but what if I ain't get help from my parents?

__________________

then they will base it off of you....your income...and if you dont have one..umm..i think they will give you the minal, or something, until you have a job so they kno that you will pay them back sometime..
