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.

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

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

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.

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

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.
