bekah asked:


I am thinking about going to dental school for 4 years after college, but I will be getting married in between. My future husband will also be in school, getting his master’s, for 2 years. I am very worried about what our financial aid will be, since I will have college loans to pay off (I can borrow from parents). Dental school will be all on my own, though. Any idea what our financial aid will be like? Better or worse?

   Depends how old you are…. If you a dependent student (older than 24) than you will have to go off of your income (plus your husband’s)
   If you are under 24, then you will go off of your parents. Chances are, your husband will be making less.
   You’re better off to stay single, but I got married and am doing fine. The stability helps me thru school.

   Good luck.

   For being considered an independent student of your husbands income have included reading on his masters marriage age and graduate school and graduate school and your parents income for dental school and him working on yours.
