Re: What's the best strategy re: USC wife and kids

Personally, I wouldn't split up the family for that long.

But then again I'm in a mushy "life is too short" type of stage in my life, so take it with a grain of salt.

Re: UK Graduate hoping to study in the USA

From the link you provided, it looks like it's over $15,000 per term, with their being 2 terms per year. And as someone above said, it's a 2 year program so you're looking at $60,000 for the program....
