My financial aid package arrived on Wednesday. It actually is quite promising. My loans are all Federal, so the interest rates are good - I won't need any alternative loans or PLUS loans. Plus there's some scholarship money in there which helps a lot.
It's a solid investment, but debt scares the heck out of me. I know I've been blessed to keep out of it this long. Here goes a new horizon - as I sign my life away :)
In other news, today is the last Preview Day I'll be a part of at WCU. I'm actually in the office instead of in the middle of it, which is probably a good thing. I get sort of sentimental over these things. Today marks my 8th one, and it's really odd knowing I won't be here in July for the next one.
God's walking beside me and leading the way. I know I'm doing the right thing. I just wish leaving didn't have to hurt so bad.

I was lucky enough to stay out of debt in undergrad too. Now I've just embraced it :) I know they tell you not to take out the entire amount, but I always take out as much as I can (along with most of my classmates) and still always run out of money the last month or two. Can't wait to see you around!
I have a couple of friends who just finished med school and they owe just over 100k ! I do worry about debt.
