Graduate School?

But I was accepted at an out-of-state school, and before I was to start, non-resident tuition went way up. Loans weren't something I wanted to take on, and the school didn't include grad assistantships as part of the program.
I took a time out. I know student affairs is the area I want to work in, and to to it, I need to do grad studies. So, this fall, it's back to school I go, in state, closer to home.
I tip my hat to those who did well on the GRE. I took it a few years ago, and it reflected I was breathing. I have yet to do well on a standardized test, so much so my high school counselor deemed me too dumb for college.
I tuned her out and earned two BAs.

Hey good luck w/ your program this fall. I'm in a student affairs program now out in DC. It's great! I hope you love your program. What kind of work do you want to eventually do when you finish? Or are you already working in student affairs?
