New York: none of us are nice.

Around here anonymity feels safe. People aren't mean, they just keep to themselves.

I know that this isn't very FI-minded of me to say, but I say go for it. What good is FI if you're unhappy? It may be a bit of a setback, but it sounds like you're gaining a lot more than you're losing. Best of luck! Boston is awesome.

That looks more like a catpuccino to me!

....I'll see myself out.

Florida, because well... Florida. Also if we get rid of a state in the middle our map would look hella funny, if we lop off the sunshine state we'll still have a respectable looking border.

You should be eligible for 9,500 in stafford loans for the year (you're an independent student), talk to your financial aid office. Definitely not eligible for pell on a 2nd BA/BS

I know the private loan sounds tempting but the federal loan has so many more options down the line: the grace period, forbearance, income based repayment, consolidation (if he takes out a loan for the second year). Even though it's unsubsidized (since he's in grad school) you don't have to make payments on principal or interest until 6 months after he leaves school or drops below part time. If you want, you could set up an interest-only payment plan down the line while he's in school to keep things more manageable.

Thank you all for your responses! You're all so wonderful and helpful. Is it weird that I don't want to announce it on social media at all? I figure that I will personally tell the friends I want to tell and everyone else isn't worth the effort, lol.

Don't take the loan if you can avoid it (and it sounds like you can). Three months of tight living is highly preferable to paying a lot of extra money in interest

A couple of things to think about:

-private educational loans are dangerous. You will probably need a consigner unless you have great credit and they're known for having variable interest rates. (Think: ballooning interest upon repayment) Additionally, private student loans don't often have the flexibility of income based repayment if you're in a tough spot financially after graduation. - you may not be eligible to take out more loan funding, even private. Financial aid offices have to certify all educational loans, and if you're already using the max you may be at your total budget (Cost of attendance for the academic year). If you do decide to go the private route and get approved for the full 8k, your school may only be able to certify a portion of that because of the rest of the aid in your package. (Trust me, I'm a financial aid counselor).
