This year (freshman) all of my tuition is getting payed by government financial aid. However, I need money for other things like housing and credit cards. Will a student loan affect next year's financial aid even if all of the money were spent? What kind of student loan would be better to get, private or federal?|||If all your tuition is getting paid then you really don't need a student loan. Taking out a loan to pay for credit cards is not really a good idea because you just going to have to pay it off later with interest.
If you decide to get one anyways, Federal loans charge a lower interest rate than private loans. I believe it's 6.54% and is capped at 8%.|||It should not effect it because it is not income it is debt. Be careful. You don't want to get overextended before you are employable. I recommend a part time job|||On the FAFSA form, I didn't see any related to debt or loan so that I can assume that loan does not affect your Financial Aid but your income or/and parents' income does affect Financial Aid...also, you grade in college(contract)
