Going to school (whether for bachelors or masters) while working full-time sucks. It takes physical and psychological tolls that - while manageable - take years to fix. Seriously

Thanks for the input. Here's the rub - most financial aid is tied to full-time enrollment. So if I'm planning on getting any help at all, for scholarships, housing, what have you, it's gonna have to be full-time.
I agree, though, I don't want to go through full-time work at the same time. I'd even rather include rent for the duration in my loans if that's what it takes. I'm not talking on-campus housing (in fact, most of the places I'm looking at don't really do on-campus anyway). I'm talking off-campus housing, i.e. where I'm living right now. Granted, a place to crash on- or near-campus would be mighty handy if it's a hike, but I'll manage one way or another.

You know what this means, though... Until June 2010, the fellas and I are going to call you 'freshman'. Unrelentingly.
P.S. Do not be frightened. School is survivable. Lack of school... not so much.
