Economics, PhD (F19)

Accepted via Website on 15 Apr 2019

Note

From my experience of a Masters program here in US, I strongly feel like the Universities in big cities are not giving students enough money to survive barely. I had to borrow money, work off-campus, even after getting a full stipend. $1500 in New York/ Chicago/ California is barely equivalent to $500 in many other states like Kansas/Texas. My friend on partial funding in Texas lived there quite comfortably. I think universities in big cities should double/triple the payment for the students to have an equivalent living standard. This time I am taking it very seriously in choosing university for my PhD.
