My wife and I are doing it - it can be done. Things will be very tight but the support you give each other since you both understand what's happening at the same time.
Don't expect to be making any vacation plans or to be eating out often. Some months you may even find that attending a gallery opening is fun - because they have free food. ☺
As long as you both go into this understanding that it's going to be tough - you can do it and even enjoy doing something together.
Take any assistantships you can get but don't give up a real job for one. Also, it never hurts to ask your department chair for an out of state tuition waiver - that too can be done.

Besides financial aid and grants keep in mind that most colleges also employ people like custodians for example and secretaries. One of the benefits of working for a college is that you get free tuition or tuition reimbursement for you and your family. In some cases it is only the employee and their children but still you could financially swing it if one or both of you also worked at the school without too much trouble. that is not the only benefit they offer either many times they will also offer residency as well as medical dental and eye care.

It's not the most realistic idea, but it is feasible.
Depending on grants is a must, also you can apply for some graduate loans with good interest rates, and try scholarships, also try becoming a teacher's aide my father did that and practically paid for his graduate work through teaching his fellow students.
good luck.
Try fastweb, and some company that starts with an a.
also look up others on the web.

first, why would you have to pay out of state tuitoin? Before applying, live in your state how ever long you need to to be considered a resident by the school you want to.
2nd, apply for finical aid, scholor ships, everything you can get your paws on. By used textbooks whenever possible, and jump right into a work study program.

No it is not. Unless you are sitting on a gold mine, it is wise to not go to school together. Gradute school costs alot in tuition, plus books and so on. Maybe you should go to school after one graduates. At least then you could give the other the answers on the homework!

It depends on your combined incomes.....it may be a problem for some people......and for some people it's a walk in the park.
