I was checking my bank account, and right now I have a bit over $4800. This means, that at most I'll have to get a loan of $3000... and working at NYSC will result in $1500 paycheck that can be used to pay back the loan. In other words, if I get a student loan I can repay half of it by August, thereby not only reducing the interest-effects, but almost guaranteeing I can be debt-free by graduation.
I'll be dirt-poor for my whole senior year, but the peace of mind this info brings is soooo worth it.
Specially, since it means I'll be financing my trip to China on my own :)
*haven't taken into account next year's tuition increases and how my current scholarship works into that, but I should get back to studying.
