Lounge

good point.

id also like to know what people are hearing / have been told about the status of student loans for this and next year.

columbia told me that they will have guaranteed loans this year (i.e. the Fall 2009 intake), and they don't know about next year.

Thanks Niraj for the link.

THIS SUCKS!

I have actually heard that a lot more people are going back to get their masters now that the economy is in a recession. I have 5 or 6 friends who have work experience and we all just decided on our own that we wanted to go back. I talked to my friend about this and he said that he read in business week that it is a natural phenomenon for that to happen in a down economy because it almost "buys" people time.

I am still planning to apply to b- school for the next fall semester. I am usually an optimistic person but with things the way are I beginning to have concerns. However I have always been told never to skimp on education.
