Residency Interviewing and Relocation Loans
Fourth-year medical students have a variety of expenses that may not be included in the standard student Cost of Attendance. Some of these expenses may include residency moving expenses, securing residency housing, etc. All of these items cost money and some students may need to consider taking out a residency and relocation loan to help cover the additional expenses.
It’s helpful to itemize your anticipated expenses to determine if your need for this loan is legitimate or just a nice cushion. One of the costliest mistakes medical students make is to borrow funds they don’t really need.
Unlike federal student loans, Residency and Relocation Loans are referred to as private (or alternative) loans. Taking out this loan is strictly between you (the borrower) and the lender.
Be discriminating when you choose these loans and compare all information before making a decision. It’s important to know what you’re getting into — remember this is money that you will have to pay back, and private loans can cost more than other loans.
