Im in 2nd year of MBA. I took out a federal loan for tuition last year and again this year, but for some reason my loan for the 2nd year has not disbursed. Im trying to figure out why but I do have savings and can pay the 2nd year tuition (with about half of savings). Should I just pay it instead of trying to get the loan?

If you have the money to pay it why would you take a loan?

I would look into why you didn’t get the money to make sure there wasn’t an error and they are going to want money from you that you never got. If I were you I would pay cash for what you can. Not have debt is a great feeling

Check with your school Financial aid. The decision to borrow vs pay cash is an individual one. I had some funds to pay for my tuition but borrowed instead cos I gambled o could borrow at 6% and earn higher invested in the market. It turned out well for me. Don’t have a crystal ball so can’t tell you exactly what you should do and how it will turn out.

Loan it up and wait for forgiveness!!

They initially said $10k. Now that they have control of house, senate, and presidency sounds like there is appetite for more

Joined Accenture as a Cloud Engineer. In December 2022, I will be earning a package of 12. Got one certification, aiming for 2nd one. All this within a span of 12 months. These are brilliant times in tech. Keep hustling. Success will be yours.
