Hello!

I'm wondering if anyone else has heard about/applied for this program?

Hi! I just got accepted into the fall 2021 cohort is there anyone else in this program?

Yep! I am in my third semester!

How is it? And do they offer any financial aid for the students? I feel like I will struggle to pay the tuition. Also, It’s hard to find a lot of information about this program online since it’s a new program. I got accepted into the fall cohort last week and I haven’t heard much from anyone afterwards. How many people are in your cohort and is this program hard?

My tuition is mostly covered by loans and then I had to get a couple thousand each semester in grad plus loans. We started with 24 I think and we have 19 now. I think with any accelerated program the coursework is harder. It is definitely time consuming.

Do you have time to work during the program? also do you commute or live on campus

Everyone commutes. Some people don't work and some do. I work full time but I can only do that because my job is very flexible and I can work on school work at the same time.

Oh okay that’s good. I’m trying to find a remote job but I have 6-7 months to find one so I’ll be good. I also don’t live there so I have to find a good apartment over there.

I had to move too so I live with 3 roommates which definitely makes it more affordable.

How did you find roommates? Are they people who are also in the program? I was thinking about moving into an apartment complex called the Ashby at south hills village station which is like 30 minutes from campus but I would probably need a roommate to make it more affordable.

I found mine on Craigslist LOL. They are all students too but not the same school.

Ohh wow? I looked on there a few months back but I was so confused on how to use it. How much do you pay for rent if you don’t mind me asking?
