You're In!

Congratulations! You've fulfilled the requirements and you've been accepted to school. Whether you're planning to attend your local community college or a university thousands of miles away, there are many exciting challenges facing you in the months ahead.

As you prepare for this milestone, consider the following:

The Basics



Where are you going to live?

Depending on your location and finances there are many housing options available to you as a student. While living with your parents provides free food and laundry, dorm life is ideal for meeting friends.

  • Take a trip to your new school and check out neighborhoods to see where you want to live. We can help you with the reservations.

Do you have enough money?

  • The amount of money you will need while in school depends on several things: How much will tuition, books and housing cost?
  • Who's paying for it?
  • What are your basic needs and wants?

At GetApproved.com we can help you calculate and assess your school related finances.

Don't be overwhelmed by your expenses and remember that most students need help financing their education. A student loan can be the best investment you ever make in yourself and is often the only way to cover tuition and living expenses.

Make sure you have the cash you need for books, everyday expenses and even occasional indulgences.
