re: student loan

Can the guy work part-time to help offset the money borrowed? IMO, only borrow as a last result.

I worked 24-32 hrs a week when i was in college.

Also, the first 2 years of classes are basically the same where every he chooses to go. Go a smaller state school, like south eastern, ULL, ect. for the 1st two years then he can transfer to LSU, and his diploma will say LSU

Also, if he is figuring $10k per year, and the guy doesn't qualify for tops i dont he will graduate in 4 years... need to figure 5 years, so $50k....
