Hello all, I was recently accepted to an English MA program but unfortunately didn't receive funding. Now I face a huge decision: do I go anyway and take out student loans (I would also work, of course), or do I take another year off and reapply? I've already taken a year off and it was awful, and I'd really like to start grad school ASAP, but facing massive amounts of debt scares the bejeezis out of me. Does anyone have any suggestions, advice, or personal stories that might help me make the decision? Thanks!
