Who knew it could be so expensive?

So...There are other colleges I am looking at. Don't fret my pets. But I am looking, in particular, at Lesley University's Art Institute of Boston. It's exactly the kind of school I want to go to. Small, not a lot of people accepted (which makes me laugh and think "yeah right, like I'll get accepted"), it's in the middle of a large metropolitan

IT doesn't hurt to apply. If you're selected you're not bound to enroll and even if you do there is usually something to the effect of a 5-day out clause. Financial aid might be able to cover a decent amount, student loans are competitive and even deferred until completion often or if not deferred, interest free until completion. You might have benefits too as military.

hehe, set up an appointment and see what you can find out. Outcomes: they say no, nothing lost because you're saving a wallet. They say yes and you can't pay: Dude, you were good enough to get in *boost*
Or they could accept you and there is some way you get manage it...no longer a dream school.

Best to have your future before you than behind you. I only have a stupid little community college degree which will get me exactly no where. Anything better is expensive though and probably getting more expensive by the year.
For that reason I am probably just going to give up on ever getting anything better.. too rich for my blood.. er or rather bank.

Ahhh Chris is walking the Appalachian Trail? I would die to do that! Heh... no chance of that until retirement now though.. *pouts*

Your last line sounds so familiar to me too, you know the thing about staying in a relationship...ehh... *shrugs*

Anyway i just suggest you keep in touch with what you really want and go after it as best you can. Remember once you have kids your stuck raising them and usually any other dreams fall by the wayside. At least thats what happened with me.

I went to the art institute of dallas and yeah im in debt for the rest of my life, you wont be the only one so you might as well go for it and expect the big payments six months after graduation!
