uh , is the mumbai skyline . Really a very nice city half of it . Can ' t really tell if its a joke , i ' ll just assume it was . but if it isn ' t , its kind of ignorant of you to think that all of a huge country is a 3 rd world place . <| sep |> Probably not . Criminal charges are brought by the state . <| sep |> Fair enough . That seems like a fairly niche subgenre , though . <| sep |> Don ' t live at the university . You should be so lucky to find a roommate and pay $ 4 , 0005 , 000 school year for rent . Don ' t use loans to pay rent and live for four years . Rent plus utilities plus groceries might be an extra $ 125 month , or about $ 1 , 000 . I got my BS and MS at my accredited state university . I worked the entire time . It took me seven years to get my MS instead of six but I left school without any loans . That ' s great . What kind of work did you do ? Was it full time or part time ? How much did you make ? Did you pay any rent or living expenses those seven years ? What did your tuition come out to be , after scholarships grants etc . ? It wasn ' t always easy . I made sacrifices . But it was doable . I didn ' t live in dorms . I didn ' t party a ton . I bought used books . I didn ' t buy university meal plans . I went to school and I worked hard and didn ' t fuck around a lot . Don ' t see why you conflate the ideas of being a partier with being unfrugal . Working hard and partying aren ' t mutually exclusive , you know , and fuckin around would only hurt if it led to fines or developing costly addictions . Nevertheless we all commend you for your focus and hard work . You ' ve made it to the professional class , so I ' ll thank you in advance for all the taxes you ' ll soon be paying P . How much would books an average semester cost you ?
