Depends on the equipment, if you're on the 175 I would count on minimum guarantee. In fact you should always budget as if you're on reserve. If its a option Id just slum it in a crashed for a few months, save some money or find a roommate or two, its def doable on the first year pay now especially if you get a sign on bonus .
