Yes I am still considering my state school but would prefer to not stress about that option until I have received a response. I have searched via Google and HUD site but I haven't gotten any leads on places within NW area. My hope was to get positive advice from mothers in the area with more internal insight.

I understand the path ahead is difficult and I appreciate you putting that difficulty in perspective. BUT if you can remember anything positive or resourceful about your experience I would greatly appreciate that.

Thanks you for the craiglist link I am checking out their DC location!

Also, the school doesn't have graduate housing available

I have heard great things about NW DC but it is expensive beyond compare! So I have been really trying to find something that offers income based housing in the area.

yes I have a separate expense for living costs. I am in the process of search for child care but would really need to narrow down where I would live before I can make final decisions. Is anyone aware of income based housing in DC or has anyone raised children while going to school?

Budget us 15-16 grand for 9 months! would like to make it stretch for 12 if possible

I do have a car! Im hoping to live at least close to the metro line. They are moving the law school near the Tenleytown station in 2015 . (Ill be doing a dual JD/MA) I am still considering state school but haven't heard back yet so would like to focus on a plan for AU right now. Thanks!

ages are 2 and 6. The budget for room is $15,000 for 9 months but id like to stretch that for 12 months for at least my first year. Of course I will look for employment in the summer but to be on the safe side I need to know I can survive if a job doesn't fall through!

Thanks for the precaution,

I do have a support system in the area but not financial support. Really? I have heard really good reviews about DC schools?! The schools in my current area are not that great so not much minus there. Do you know of any income based housing in NW or NE DC?

I will heed your advice to take choose wisely but need help with a starting point!

hi guys,

I am a single parent soon to attend AU (coming from down south). I am having a hard time just looking at the rent prices in DC and of course my allotted room and board is based on shared housing...well I share housing with my beautiful kids that unfortunately aren't paying room mates LOL. I am hoping someone has some advice on how to afford housing in D.C or if you are aware of any income based housing around AU. Any advice would be AWESOME!


Thanks
