more on housing

[athene]

It looks more and more like it would be a better idea for Aerith and I to buy a place, espcially b/c there are places for sale in our apartmet complex that we could most likely aford. The thing is that means at least another 2 years in the area. The problem with that is that I'm not really all that intreagued with grad schools at UMass. I don't want to "settle" for something. I don't want Aerith to have to "settle" for something either. But maybe I should look at everything in my life that makes me happy and weigh it against "settling" for everything that is just ok and see how it comes out.

*sigh* The more I look at all the graduate programs Tufts offers, the more I want to go there. Of course, they're one of the few grad schools I've looked that that doesn't seem to do much for tuition wavers or stypends.

have you looked at the University of Pennsylvania's Post-Bac program in Classics? It's a really fabulous 1-year program that will prep you for a masters degree in a classics-related field, basically anywhere you want to go. It's geared towards people who love the classics, but don't have their languages up to speed. Plus you can take all the Penn classes you want. Philly has a thriving theatre scene, and rent is REALLY cheap (200-500 per month for West Philly)
