My SO is in med school, and she said it should set her back about 100k when it's all said and done. Maybe she's lying..
Well, I've given you the link on the cost. Unless you or her daddy is paying for all of her living expenses, she must be starving and living under an overpass on Franklin Ave.

Off-campus living expenses: $17,739**
Where the hell are you living?? You can find a nice place in LV for 600/mo.
So, let's say a med student does get a roommate and rents a double uptown and his/her share is $600/mo. That's $7,200/year.
How much for electricity, gas, sewage, etc.?
How much for food, snacks, etc.?
How much for beer, entertainment?
How much for parking/gas?
How much for transportation to home?
How much for a car (you need a car to live in N.O.)?
You don't think all those "other" cost add up to $10K a year?

This thread is an example of the reason I went to PA school instead of med school. Didn't want to wait until I was in my 30s before I started working with a mound of debt. I am now working at 25, with about 30k in loans. And while I will never make "doctor money", I don't pay malpractice, work about 40 hours a week, no call, no weekends. Also being in a high paying surgical subspeciality means I will do pretty good for myself. I tell undergrads all the time to make sure you go into medical school for the right reasons.

In Med School? Erroneous!
