I've got somewhat of an unconventional hairstyle going into my program. Is it a concern or should I be fine?

Years ago yes now not really especially If you already got into the program. The only concern would be internships/capstone project with companies.

like what kind of unconventional? Natural, dyed. mullet?

Yeah I think it depends on what kind of haircut you have and what kind of work you're looking to get into. If you're going into a conservative field, I do think this might be a problem for you. But if you're going into the non-profit space or certain areas in tech, for example, an unconventional haircut (or tattoos or piercings, etc) are probably actually going to help you because it makes you seem more interesting/progressive

I am sure it is a haircut or style we have seen before

It honestly depends on what kind of cut or color you have. If its something wayyyy unnatural then you might get some funny looks but at the end of the day I really woudln't worry about it.

Incoming MBA, I have my tuition paid for and rent covered (I will be an RA). So the only thing I need to pay for is food and entertainment. Do you think 20k is enough to last me through the 2 years?
