I hear that... undergrad seemed so easy and carefree.... (c: I have about
30K in loans for all my schooling undergrad plus the 3 years i have been in
grad school. Hopefully i wont need any more. The good thing for me is that
tuition is waived for us (as it is for most science related graduate
students at most universities) and they give us a small stipend for living
on (if you can call it living on that alone!). We are also provided with
health insurance through the university... so that is always nice if it is
needed. Hopefully this will all pay off once i get my PhD and my 300%
raise!!!!
