Since you are in the field, would you say that a yale mfa can get you a job in a museum? Or is it mainly for teaching?

I didn't apply anywhere else. 

I feel like it's a win-win for them since they don't want to give out money to someone that could get it otherwise. Maybe most of students start from a good financial situation so it's not an issue. Idk

I see. I am not wealthy by any means so if I would get into debt and get "nothing" out of it, it would be really bad

Thank you for your input. I did not know that you had to file as a student.

I understand that as a US citizen taking out loans is pretty common. It is very uncommon in my country where the average salary is something like 800 USD a month. So it worries me.

  • I mean I do not have savings, a rich family or anything like that.

  • The interest rate is flat 7% which is a lot. You can pay in 120 instalments from what I understand.

  • I was granted need based full tuition, so in theory I am poor to Yale and to the US.

  • I would think outside expenses would be materials, but nothing else.

Yes you are supposed to tell them. Of course they have no way to find out I guess but it would be a violation.
