Hi everyone, I was admitted into the Downstate M.S program and the MGH OTD program recently. Just weighing the costs between the two. MGH is offering me 50% which rounds out to around ~75K + Living Expenses, but Downstate's tuition is around 30k and I'd get to and would prefer to stay at home (although Boston is nice and I do know a decent number of people there). I really do like both programs, but iffy on which school I should go with atm. If anyone has any opinions or suggestions, let me know!

Hey! Congrats on being admitted to both schools🥳. Every OT that I've spoken to has said the same thing, pick the cheapest school if you like their program because the amount of debt isn't worth it. I also applied and was accepted into a 100k private school and feel super nervous about that fee. It's the reason I'm holding out to hear from another school.
