$ money during dental school$

[birdman12345]

I was wondering how everybody gets by during dental school. I hear that it is nearly impossible to even have a part time job while being a dental student. so is everyone spending money basically from lones or what? ( im talking about spending money, not tuition or living expenses etc...) and if so, how much is a is reasonable budget for dental school per year? does 5 thousand sound about right?????

Every school has their own budget for you as to how much money you should be allotted for tuition, rent, and living expenses. It will differ from school to school. I don't know of anyone in my class who works except for a couple of classmates who do it more as a hobby rather than for the pay. Most people will be living off of loans for the 4 years in dental school or at least a majority of the costs will be paid off by loans.
