Pros and Cons of being part time or full time student
I am 20 years old and I am currently completing my undergraduate degree to graduate by next winter. I am going to take a gap semester and enroll in the fall for my grad program. Right now, I commute to my undergrad college (5 minutes away from my home), but for grad school I will need to move to another state. I wanted to know whether it would be better to be part time or full time. As i will have to move out, I plan to work while going to classes, otherwise idk how i would have any income. Although, there are financial aid, grants, loans, grad assistantships, etc. I wanted to know other people’s experiences outside of mine or more importantly similar to mine. This is my first time living away from home and I am nervous on the financial part of it. Part time: is it easier for you to balance work and school? If you live on campus, is it easier or harder?What benefits do you miss out on being part time? Full time: How do you afford your living expenses? Do you live off or on campus? IF you have a job, is it harder to balance the two? If you don’t have a job, where do you get your funds?
