This question is concerning the newer version of Life. When you choose the college path at the begginning of the game, you are given $100,000 in loans. Does this mean you only receive 5 "$20,000 loan" pieces of paper, or do you receive these along with $100,000's worth of money too? It seems to me, if you decided to go to college, you are $100,000 in debt, so you don't receive the actual money with the loan, just the requirement to pay it all back before you retire. Then again, the rules say when you take a loan, you take money and loan papers, and don't specify that it's any different when taking this initial loan. So which is it?: Do you get the money, or is it assumed you spent all that money on tuition, etc? so you only have the loans?

The rules here are for the 2003 version. It states:

Page 3 - Start College wrote:
Borrow $100,000 from the bank for tuition.


You don't get $100,000 cash, because you used it for tuition.
