My next question would be, how in the world does anyone afford to do this?
The same way anyone completes
any kind of intense, expensive professional education (med school, law school, etc.) -- savings, loans, scholarships ...
When I went to grad school, I took out some student loans (as little as possible), was
very vigorous/aggressive about seeking out scholarship/grant opportunities (and was able to get a few, that helped a lot with finances), lived as cheaply as possible, worked one shift a week on a prn basis at the university medical center (and full time during the summer and holiday breaks), and my family helped out to the extent they could (not much, but it helped!)
What better thing to invest in than your education and future? It can definitely be done.
