No fund for MS, How bad is it if i accept it and decline later?

[Blingbling0068]

Hello everyone: I need some advice here. 

I got accepted into one MS program, with no funding at all. 

 

So is it bad to accept their offer, but if later on I cannot afford it can I still decline it?

Right now I am searching for scholarships and so on, and hope to cover some part of the tuition. But there is no guarantee I can attend. 

 

Some people told me it is fine since i am not getting any money from the school and it is just one spot in the classroom. 

 

Please let me know if anyone had similar situation?

 

Thank you!!

The school will completely understand if you cannot afford to go. When is their deadline to let them know? I would email both your advisor and the graduate admissions department for your major and tell them that you cannot attend without funding. Sometimes they will make an effort to help you acquire funding.
