Re: School/funding advice?

[(Anonymous)]

The only thing that I would worry about is that you know you will do well/enjoy the place you are at currently, but will you enjoy/do well at the fancy private school? For college (so not the same as you exactly), I got into Amherst and loved the idea of it. I loved my weekend visit there. However, they didn't offer me a lot of money and it would have been a strain on me and my family to go there. So I chose the college that gave me a lot more money instead. (I didn't choose the one that would have given me a free ride, as I think I would have been miserable there.) And I didn't hate it, but I don't think it was the best choice for me, and I really regret going there.

I know being in grad school debt is awful (believe me, I know, as I have a lot of it myself), but it is also important to consider the experience you will have as well.

Good luck with the decision and with your grad schooling!

Re: School/funding advice?

I also worry about the curriculum change along with the atmosphere change. I worry that there will be some additional stress put on me, as the fancy school is a math/engineering school, and I am studying a social science there. Plus, there's a much higher men:women ratio, so I'm also kind of worried about everything that goes along with that...

And yeah, I'm also worried about just plain not liking it. But I'm also worried about being a dumbass and essentially turning down a free ride in a PhD program, to stick with a program in my comfort zone that has historically bobbled funding for me.

I'm kind of afraid that I don't have the luxury or privilege of saying, "Sure, I can go another 40K in debt for my PhD program." I'm already probably that for my MA, and while I have a smidgen of personal funds to do the bare minimum of credits at the state uni without going into repayment on all my loans, it will drain me by the year's end.

Unless the state uni can find me funding. Which has been historically soul-destroying for me. So yeah; I'm not sure if I have the financial privilege of bowing to comfort or sentimentality. :(
