Hi Everyone! I am an MS1 (4 weeks in) and I am strongly considering to take a Leave of Absence for the whole year and restart next year. My dad is sick and needs someone with him all the time; my family is looking into hiring someone but I think it may be best if I go home. My school has been supportive and says I can do it and come back next year as a "repeater" ( I hate the name of that lol). Has anyone else had to take an LOA before? Also does anyone have any idea what this would mean financially? Will i get any of my money back? It would really suck if I just dropped 20k to have to take LOA 4 weeks in. Thank you guys so much!
