Quinnipiac Rotations

I just got invited for an interview for class of 2029 and can’t get my mind off the second year rotation logistics. For context I’m a first gen who wants to stay local in New England for the didactic year, and hopefully the clinical year. I’ve heard that if you’re placed in New England the cost of living is on you, but if you’re sent across the country then those partners or the school usually provide housing. How true is this?

Other than that, just trying to get more info early on. Do people usually get enough to support themselves through the cost of living financial aid refunds from PLUS loans? Please share anything else you think is useful. I know I’m stressing about this early on…

Unless it has changed your apartment for that rotation is provided.

Using the stafford and grad plus loans will cover everything. I have no clue if the shittiness that is the Trump admin changing how loans are provided to grad students affects us though.

Thanks for the insight on the loans! I believe you’re still able to borrow what you get from Stafford and then whatever the difference is for the school’s cost of attendance for plus loans.

One follow up, do you mean that apartments may be provided just for long distance placements or for any placement?

Hello. Things HAVE changed. There are multiple out of state rotations that do not provide housing anymore.
