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?

Or… should I take a small loan?

Hi everyone, I have a quick question that’s kind of silly. I work at a pretty small company leading marketing.

I know titles don’t really matter, but I’m battling a little bit of imposter syndrome.
