Financial aid is another concern I have. if your financial assistance will be distributed by my university rather than the US Department of Education?
Find out when your school will pay your aid and the period covered by each payment
I also need to find out the price. What if the aid is not enough and I have to take out a loan to pay for schooling?
If you have to take out a loan you should pay special attention to the terms and conditions of private loans so that you understand what your obligations would be. You should read up about federal versus private loans.
