It was worth it for me, absolutely, but I was also fully-funded with a $15k stipend. I'm not sure I could have ever done it without that.

- stuxnet79 11y agoSurely you couldn't have been living in a large city. $15K stipend a year is really low to me.
- Rhapso 11y agoIt's what I started with too. I've seen a lot of discussion about how CS Grad students are getting underpaid. I acquired $70k in student loans to afford to live in the city with my partner while working on my degree. Essentially they paid about half of cost of living.
- HelloMcFly 11y agoI took $20k in loans out as well for living, ended up using about $15k of that per year and paying the rest back. I had a cheap apartment shared with others, it was enough to live a very fun life for three years.
