My personal "Moving in" situation

$25 a week on food per person isn't really a whole lot, unless you're really into eating ramen or have really small appetites.

Also, how are utilities going to cost you $300? I think you're overestimating that unless you have the absolute worst insulation in the world and run your AC/heat nonstop.

You should also remember that you're going to have lots of miscellaneous expenses. Now that you'll be at grad school and earning money, your parents probably won't be as generous as they were when you were at college, so all those fun little things you like to do start costing a decent amount of money.

Finally, what does she want to do with her life? Does she have any sort of goal for herself? Most of the people I know in grad school tend to like to have their other half be an intellectual peer and not just a trophy wife that sits at home. There's a lot to be said for discussing your work other than how much you hate your boss.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I imagine if she's going to apply for a transfer she has to do it a bit of time in advance.

I forgot to ask it earlier, but had you been planning on going to WVU for grad school from the start? As someone who just went through with their graduate school search I have to tell you that one of the most important things is finding a school that has an adviser you can click with. If you're not interested in your project or severely clash with your boss for the next 4-6 years then there's a pretty good chance you'll have a pretty tough time sticking it out.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
