.. when that beautiful acceptance letter comes in? Besides jump and cheer, of course.

I mean to ask this because of the issue that has me bothered .. finding a place to live! My boyfriend of almost three years has decided he wants to go back to school. I find this fantastic! However, this puts a snag in my plans because most likely he will still be in school or will be just graduating as I go to medical school - if I get accepted (gotta keep reality in this!)

Since I won't be working during medical school, and he won't be working either, how will I have a place to live? I've always wondered this little fact about medical schools. I know most of you have families, and will probably pack up and move, or hope to get accepted at a medical school in driving distance, but for those that won't/can't, what will you do?

Don't want to seem like I'm jumping the gun, but I feel like I have to be thinking about this kind of thing, too, even if my application year is a couple of years down the line.

We are moving to the city that my #1 pick resides in. We are moving before I even send in applications. That may sound impulsive, but we are leaving the military and decided to move to the area that has my dream school. I will not be working , but the hubby will. That being said we don't know that he will get a good enough job in the civilian world to support us completely. The back up plan to that is to take enough of a school loan to help with bills. That is only if we NEED to.

You have that option as well, take out enough school loans to survive. Learn creative things to do to rice. A giant bag of rice will last you forever and it is really cheap.😀 If you end up using school loans ot help pay for living expenses make sure you budget yourself very effectively. Do not spend more than you must. Learn to be a penny pincher. Start saving as much $$ as you can right now. I would say when someone moves to another state if they are single with no children then at least $5,000 should be coming with them to get settled, get groceries etc. Do you have to pay $ to get your household items moved over? Take that cost into consideration. Are you driving? Take gas prices into consideration. PLAN PLAN PLAN

I'm renting a tiny apartment in FL for my pre-clinical years and keeping our house in PA where we hope to be long term. I didn't know where I was going to school until 3 months before I started so I hired a realtor to help me find a place to live, moved in without even seeing the place. There's a lot of skyping and jetsetting involved in my life but it will all be worth it in the end (supposedly).
