I have been with my girlfriend for 2 years and currently live 2 hours from where she lives.
She is starting undergrad at her hometown while I will be starting dental school in 2007 at the same school.
Her plan is to go to medical school.
I've got a few questions which specifically apply to couples in professional schools. And yes, I realize this is a long, long way away... but we are deeply in love, have discussed marriage, family, etc
Sometimes I think it won't put too much strain on the relationship because as a dental student I will understand the studying she will have to go through as a medical student... and vice-versa. Could it be favorable?
Would the debt be too great. We could conceivably be staring at $300,000-$400,000 in debt. Could we have trouble getting loans to even make such an adventure? I feel confident we could (eventually) pay it off because by the time she was a 3rd or 4th year resident (making about $50k), I would probably be at the 100,000 level or higher. Still, could this be too much debt?
Any other advice from people in similar situations is GREATLY APPRECIATED!
