Question

Hello all, I am 25 years old and have about 6 classes left to finish my bachelors degree. I am taking two classes a semester and my school doesn't allow for more than 2 CS classes at a time. I work full time at a library and don't have much time left for studying. I wanted to know if I should take out a loan to hold me off until i graduate ? Or should i keep working and risk not doing good in school and lower the chance of getting an internship for next summer. I am moving out of my moms house next month but i don't know what to do.

I would hold off on the loan personally though it depends on your financial situation. Keep studying on the side, and try to learn some more practical CS skills by building a website or side project. Mass apply to all the internships out there, and I'm confident you'd be able to land something if you start preparing early enough. If you get a good internship, you'll be able to finance a good amount of your school.

Don’t take the loan. Grind it out

This is a tough one. So if you took out the loan, would you be able to take more classes a semester? I assume the reason why you can't take more classes a semester is because you have a full-time job.

A few questions:

1) How much would the loan be?
2) Have you considered finding work on campus to offset the loan amount?
3) Do you have any other debt?
4) Have you created a budget to figure out what your monthly expenses might be?
5) Why can you only take 2 classes a semester? Seems unreasonable lol
