Dentatus

I am in the same boat, planned to make it but had to cancel last minute - if anyone cares to share their impressions of the program/campus/city/etc. from the ASW it would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance!

Understandable - wasn't trying to call you out or anything. I am leaning more and more towards attending Heinz. With the factors I detailed above, I "hope" I can graduate with 20k +/- 5k of debt. With your funding, cost of living in Pittsburgh, possibility of working part-time, and perhaps additional second year funding - it seems more like half of your initial estimate might be a more realistic figure. Although being conservative about the anticipated costs make sense. Maybe I'm being too generous?

If I am reading your post correctly... How did you calculate $70k debt after the two-year program at Heinz, given your funding? I have $24k/year funding at Heinz and my calculations are not even close to that... Granted, I have a Segal Education Award ($5k) and I am hedging a bit by anticipating a high likelihood of securing additional funding for the second year. *I am also planning on working part-time to pay for housing.
