My wife took on ~$100k in loans for her MFA, and we'll be paying on it for quite awhile. I have to say, though, that if you're going to go into debt for something, I think it's better to do it for education than anything else. As difficult as it can make things, I do not resent those loan payments at all. Of course, now that I'm looking to start a DMA, there's no way we can take on any more debt than what we have -- funding is absolutely required!

Me too! After numerous talks with my intended advising professor, I only applied at one school, and got my acceptance letter in January. I've been waiting for a funding decision ever since. I can't go without it, but I've put all my eggs in this basket and don't quite know what I should do next year if it doesn't come through!

admittance is nice but useless without funding when will I find out?

So today's the official notification day for fellowship offers ... does anyone know if they will send e-mails or just snail mail?
