You
Should I take the $8k Parent PLUS loan or look for more scholarships first?
Astra
Before taking on Parent PLUS debt at 8.05% interest, I'd recommend applying to 3–5 local scholarships worth $2–5k each. With your CS major and Michigan's net price, your 10-year ROI is strong — but minimizing loans now saves ~$4,200 in interest over 10 years.
