I think I ought to clarify my answer on the above point. (it didn't come out all that clearly).
By the above, I mean you can apply for a TA-ship in the second semester. You still have to pay full tuition in your first semester, and have enough money to support yourself. And there are no guarantees about getting a TA-ship in the second semester either, so you must be prepared for that contingency.
Generally, not being funded sucks.
