Funding the accommodation [#permalink] New post  20 Jul 2018, 23:38
For an international student, loans and grants are known to cover the tuition costs of an MBA. Do you know whether bank loans and grants can be used to fund the accommodation also? I could not find much information related to funding the accommodation in the US. Please share your experiences of funding accommodation. I'm sure that I can't fund even my accommodation using my savings.

From your tuition bills to airfare to living expenses to everything in between.

Counter question, can you name one financial institution that doesn't?
Anyways, Prodigy financial covers everything and it is the most prominent choice among MBAs.

OP, this should help you out https://prodigyfinance.com/resources/blog/mba-cost-of-attendance

Prodigy finance does cover a lot.

it somewhat depends on the situation and varies by your country of origin as well as school you are matriculating into.
I would suggest checking rates for both Prodigy Finance and MPOWER Financing

For international students - you can get a relatively low rate and collateral free with prodigy finance if your school does not let you co-sign with them (most schools do). If the school co-signs with you then you can use Discover or other US lenders to get a 100% CoA loan at a much lower rate.
