also got a waitlist email

the post was me! I just got an email a little over an hour ago, and there was no change on my online application page. So I wouldn't necessarily give up hope.

I got my acceptance letter today (to the MA program)! Though it seems like everything was there, I'm pretty confused by the financial stuff. The offer is a 25% time (10 hours a week) teaching assistant appointment in Spring 2011 which would pay $3,821 and include a tuition waiver for 5 hours of credits (but not fees). So I'd have to pay for my courses in Fall 2010...and tuition isn't that cheap (6 credits would cost $7,782, as an out of state resident (which I'd be, I think) if I'm reading the form correctly--plus a lot of fees and insurance). And it's not indicated at all what my funding options would be following 2011... I can't really figure out what I'd end up having to pay because I don't really understand this credit hour stuff (my undergrad institution had 1 course = 1 credit); if each course is 3 credits and you need 30 credits over 2 years I guess I'd want to be taking 2 or 3 courses a semester? 9 credits would cost $11,673! The 90s website isn't helping. If anyone is more expert in Academic Hermeneutics please advise.

How queer-friendly is Gainesville? Thanks.
