School

So grad school is stressing me out. I was going to Univesity of Puget Sound for sure, but recently came to th revelation that it costs $42,000 for the one year program and as a beginning teacher i will not even make that much. my old high school teachers has advised me that that is ridiculous. So i am looking at Northwest University in Kirkland, which is only $19,000 for the whole deal, and still close enough to my grandpa's that i can still live for free. at the risk of sounding like a private school bitch, I want to make sure that i go to somewhere reputable. hmmm. any advice?
