[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is very difficult to get income based housing.  Often it takes years, mostly never in less you have a voucher you can port.  At best, you'd have to go to the suburbs or a not so nice area and possibly a basement apartment.  Child care is very expensive too so you need to factor that in.  Plus, if you are taking out loans, you need to look at that long term impact. I would encourage you to do what you are planning but I would also go to a state school.   [b]AU is a good school but it is no better than a state school except for specific degrees and in less you are getting a full ride one of the most expensive schools in the area.[/b]  [/quote]

When I did it, I received a full ride from my prestigious grad school. So there was no worry about loans. And during the time between receiving my acceptance and scholarship award and starting the program, I saved like a demon and paid my bills in advance for the year I'd be out of work. I was in a 1-bdrm apartment so the rent wasn't too expensive.
