Do you not have to pay full tuition price for the summer semester, if you only take 6 credits? At my school, summer classes are done through the continuing ed department and they're priced on a per-credit basis, it's something like $320/credit, give or take a bit depending on the classes. In contrast, my tuition is around $5K/semester, no matter how many credits you take (assuming you're a full-time student). So no, it's a sort of a la carte system in the summer and isn't as expensive as a full-time class. But you can see why this is a highly individual thing

Again, thanks. This is the sort of information and indepth response I was hoping for.
I am fortunate that the place I am going looks to be a small college town, so walking is an option, and in the North East, the public transport system is not terrible. However, just renting a room is a real monster (550/month or thereabouts).
What will you do, even if your potential wage is high? Take out a big loan and piss away your money? Expect to get a job right away and pay it back?

I'm told that because it's within a 3 hour drive of NYC, you can expect NYC level rent.
