Folks, with all the study required, the projects and presentations required, and such, the dorm was literally two blocks away from the main building for my grad degree, and was very well worth it. Student loans, my deceased father's social security benefits (until I aged out) and some family help paid for it. Yes, at the school I went to, there was a dorm that housed grad students on the ground floor and undergrad on the upper floors. The dorm was in two wings, with women in one wing and men in the other, joined by a common lobby/cafeteria/lounge area. At orientation, we were advised that unlike undergrad, that the course would be so rigorous that outside employment to keep spending money going was discouraged to the point of if a person thought they also needed to work at the same time, then second thoughts as to whether the person was fitted to pursuing the course were in order.
