It's lame when a distant internship won't provide rent, but also possibly this person is going a too expensive school?
It sounds like between the two internships combined they'd have made around $30k total, no?
If so, that seems like just barely enough to cover living expenses and a year at a public university with $4 to $7k in tuition and fees a semester.
Though it would be lame to have to spend 9 months off school to spend a year in school.

- keiferski 13y agoJust for clarification (I'm a Pitt alum): Pitt is sort of a public school. A portion of the budget comes from the state, but not as much as many other state schools (the California system, for example).
- aestra 13y agoWhen I was applying for school (which was a while ago) public schools were actually getting hard to get into, because they were cheaper and college was becoming a popular thing, everyone was going, even people who it would be a waste of time for. All the psychology, art history, and undeclared majors were flocking there. I found a private school that was not much more expensive. It is seriously not realistic that everyone go to public school. Also, public school funding is being cut, and students are being asked to pay bigger part of the tuition. Also, public school prices vary a lot by state. Private universities might have a bigger sticker price, but there's more room for leeway. There's need based grants that can be given out by the school itself, for example (I got them from mine). I don't know if public schools can do this.
