Be careful with how much you borrow as you will have to pay it back. Find out the major types of student loans available, how they differ, and which kind best fits your financial situation. You should also budget how much you would need per semester and borrow only that amount of money. In some jurisdictions, it is advisable to limit the amount you borrow in private student loans because the interest rates are higher than the government ones.
