So today I have finished up making my budgets for both schools, in the slight chance that I am accepted to both and have to choose. Originally I thought that the cost of living at the Philly school alone would make it not an option, but I just did some research and the school is on the outskirts of Philly, meaning rent is nowhere near what I thought it was going to be. It's also in a good part of the city, and as long as I lived with roommates, I could easily pay only $400-500 a month for rent and whatnot. The school also offers way more financial aid than the other school. Therefore, depending on my interview in a week, this could potentially be a tough decision!
