Guest dettociao Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Is $7.5k in Milwaukee (for 9 months, no word on summer funding-- I could always just work) enough to live on? Anyone living on it or less with any good tips? It seems really low, but it's a MA program... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imnotjesus Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Rent will cost $400-600, depending on your needs and willingness to have a roommate. Heating costs can really be a pain in the winter, but some apartments include heat. I spend about $9k a year in Milwaukee right now as a grad student, so $7.5k might be tough without another source of $$$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dettociao Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 I'm guessing I'll pickup summer work in the department, or somewhere in the city. And there's always a few small loans....so you live on 9k, eh? With food and all? I guess it's doable then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imnotjesus Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 so you live on 9k, eh? With food and all? I guess it's doable then. yeah, i have two roommates, both of which are somewhat generous in providing me some edible support when i'm a little short. $7.5k is pretty good $$$ for an MA program. Most people don't get much support at all from UWM (including yours truly). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
