Is it possible to work enough during school? What percent of the tuition should I loan out?

When you go to medical school you are allowed to borrow funds above the cost of tuition in order to be able to afford to live. I get around $1500 per month to live off of. I have a few friends that worked on weekends occasionally, but no one is able to work full time at another job. For the first two years you will have several hours of class a day and then spend several hours studying each night. The second two years are spent in the hospital and are even longer (easily 70+ hours/week in some rotations). I am a fourth year student and will be graduating in a few months with around $170,000 in loans. It sounds scary (and is) but I should be able to pay it off soon.

If you check the website of the Association of American Medical Colleges (google AAMC) they have links to every accredited med school in the USA. You can go directly to the website of each of the med schools in Illinois and get the exact correct information directly from the school websites, and a lot of other info as well.

Don't go into shock when you see the numbers. It is possible to borrow money for med school and then when you are a qualified MD you can pay it back easily!!!

Good luck!

But is going to pharmacy school even more expensive? If I were a pharmacist tech, would the hospital I work at maybe help pay tuition so I could become a pharamcist? I want to get into the medical field, but it is expensive, and I'd have to pay a lot of money that I don't know how I'd get.

Tuition is the same for pharmacy and medical school at my state university and at most universities. Remember that state schools are substantially less expensive than private schools. You pay three times or more at a private school. At my state school it's $15,000 a year for both pharmacy students and medical students. They charge non-residents (out of state people) $30,000 a year. Pharmacy requires less years of study than medical school so you get to start making money earlier.

Pharmacy is a four year program after you have a bachelor's degree. If you are admitted into a pharmacy program as a high schooler, then it is a six year program and will cost more. Most six year programs are at private schools. With pharmacy, there is no residency unless you want to become a special pharmacist.

Medical school is four years after your bachelor's and then at least three years of residency and more after that if you specialize. So pharmacy is four years and medical school is seven. Dental school is four years unless you want to become an orthodontist, then it's a couple more. If you want to become an oral and maxillofacial surgeon (they take out wisdom teeth), you get a dental degree (DDS, 4 years) then medical training and an MD (6 more years).

If you are set on these professions and are sure you won't change your mind, then cost shouldn't be an issue. You could live at home with your parents for a year or two if you really want and pay off the loans right away. I think most pharmacists in my area make $100,000 and up and family practice doctors make $130,000 and up. You'll have a nice salary and skills. Just try to see if you like these professions though because if you don't it'll be a huge mistake.

ADD: Yes, residents are paid. I think it's about $40,000 a year. In my area (West Coast) you can find a job that grosses over $100,000 easily as a retail pharmacist. Hospital pharmacists generally make less than retail pharmacists. Also, some pharmacies have tough hours. USDRJD is probably right about what a physician makes.

If this happens (touch wood!) how would I go about funding my tuition fees and general living expenses? At the moment I have a loan. But when I enter medical school I'll be 22.

Anyone done the same? How did you fund yourself in medical school?

Why dont you contact the medical school you wish to enter? They will have access to any bursay scheme or grants etc available there may also be other funds through scolarships etc but only they have that info im afraid.

I recently finished Uni and for a year I shared a flat with 4 medical students. £ were payed for by daddies cash but one was working his way through it. Its hard!!

You can get cheap accommodation by becoming a student warden in uni digs, but you will still need a job too. I have seen it done, so it is possible but he had no life (still hasnt) and wont for 5 years! But if this is what you want, and you must really want it, you can do it.

Good luck, youre a better man than me for trying

Does this mean I'll need to put 4 years of tuition into this account? If so, how is this different from just saying I need to pay them 4 years of tuition up front (i.e. why do they call this an "escrow" account?) Thanks for the help!

Unless you are a international student!

P.S. It will no doubt be different in America, so only people with knowledge of UK university systems please.

LOL…well there's always the strip club. From what I understand the gay community are really good tippers when it comes to there strippers *wink*

Hey, gotta friend that graduated from Yale with a Bio-Chem degree…he said he funded the part of his tuition that wasn't covered by scholarship stripping at a gay club. He's not gay but he made good money to cover books and what not.

Since I can not work, I know that some school do provide health insurance, but is it including in tuition? And how exactly does it work? Is it the type of insurance that is limited to only the school's health care system or is it broader? Please help.

It depends on what state you are in, but generally speaking, the only advantage of a school plan is that it is guaranteed issue. Most school sponsored policies are limited benefit ($50,000 or so) and your primary care provider is the campus clinic. The cost is in addition to tuition, and if you are like most of us, added on to your student loan.
The advantage to an individual plan is that you own the policy – not the university, or for that matter not your employer either. When you graduate you will still have insurance. An individual policy probably costs less as well.

So, is there a section of your tuition that goes to room & board, since you aren't allowed to work in Medical School. Also, can the money alotted for room & board under tuition be used for housing other than on-campus. For example, if there is on-campus housing available, but you choose to live off-campus, will you get your room and board money taken out of the tuition and given back to spend on housing?

Now, when you look at the "quote" for the cost of medical school, there will be a separate box for cost of living and housing. It is NOT included in your tuition. You choose where you live, and tution does not change at all. I'd recommend buying a house or condo, because you'll be living there for 4-8 years. Also, nows a good time to buy during the housing slump, and you'll beable to sell for higher in 4 years.

Everyone in medical school has loans, but the salaries you earn at the end more than adequately allow you to pay them back. Physicians are rarely hard up for money, even though they all took out extensive loans. Think of the loans as an investment in your future. There really is no other good way to do this.
