I have another offer for about the same amount but cost of living is higher at the other school and its a 2 year program. I majored in political science and history, my gpa was around 3.8, major GPA (political science was 4.0), received some academic awards as an undergraduate, graduated cum laude, have some research experience with a professor after graduation, TFA alumni, 4 years work experience, last two I have held leadership positions at the high school where I teach. GRE 162v/158q/5.0 aw

I received my offer today, about 30k in funding. Would still leave me with substantial debt ($35k minimum) on top of my remaining undergrad loans. I really have to think about this before making my decision. What do yall think?

Thanks Robin!

RobinL and Maxwell2019, would you mind sharing your profile?

Just got the notification today, accepted to the MA in international affairs (national and international security). Funding about 24k over 2 years. But total tuition and fees for 2 years add up to about 70K and that's not including living expenses. I would need around $45K in loans just to cover tuition/fees, plus more to cover living expenses (at least 1,000 per month? I'll probably be living with at least 1 roommate)... I already have almost 7k in undergraduate loans which run me about $80 per month (down from 30K at $380 per month as I've been paying more than I had to for the past 4 years). Is this masters degree worth $70,000 in debt? What do yall think?
