i was accepted into a 1-year master’s program at the university of edinburgh and because i am an international student, my tuition is ~43k USD. my program offers a scholarship that would knock a maximum of ~13k USD off my tuition, but regardless I would have to accept financial aid for the rest. the US gives a max of 22500 USD to grad students, so the rest would be from a private loan (i can’t afford to fork over the rest). however, the edinburgh financial aid office recently sent me this document detailing all of the likely expenses i would encounter in ONE YEAR as a student. how is it possible to ever go to school here as a US student without financial support? is this a rich people school? this is insane!
