If she could get that type of reduction in her overall expenses, I would encourage her to do it. There is no doubt in my mind that going to a good J-Program like Florida is a wise investment in your future. The point your friend needs to consider is how much she is willing to pay, and how she will be able to reinburse her costs once she finishes her masters. If she can keep her debt bellow 30-40K I’m sure she will be alright. I get concerned when people on here write stuff like “I didnt get any funding to go to Columbia for a sociology masters, but I will just pay the fee. I’m sure it will pay for itself anyways!” That is deeply flawed reasoning, in my mind.
