    Hi all, I've been accepted to Portland State U for PhD in applied psychology. Awaiting final details of my funding package, but the stipend looks to be about $1,200/month. Seems impossible to live off of that in Portland. I'm sure I can borrow (I've filled out the FAFSA), but will be weighing this against programs in the very affordable St. Louis if I get in (have not yet heard back). I'm an older returning student (39) and my partner is a newly minted MSW who will be looking for her first social work job. We have not merged finances at this point and so I need to think of our living situation as essentially a roommate in terms of splitting costs 50-50. Does anyone here have feedback on living off of $1200/month in Portland and how students swing it?
