I can relate. My top school would be a really big move to an expensive city and it sounds like they don't offer many spots with funding. I'm really worried about more debt as well but I've been looking into loan forgiveness programs because some school districts will hire SLPs with this. I guess for now I'll just have to wait and see where I'm accepted and if I'm offered funding. However, I'm not sure when schools will release that information because I've been accepted to one school but they haven't said anything about the assistantship I applied for.
