Dear Reader,

Thank you lot for reaching out to me through my blog.

As I empathize it, you lot get got the choice betwixt iii universities for your PhD, as well as 1 of them is fully funded? In that case, I’d say, become for the fully funded option. If all of them are funded, I’d recommend you lot to pick the projection that you lot experience most excited well-nigh – iii or four years tin give notice endure a long time. The academy itself does non affair that much – equally long equally you lot seat out as well as instruct the gamble to locomote to a few conferences, the ranking of your academy is non that important.

Another chemical cistron to consider: if you lot are planning to deed to the USA long-term, the schoolhouse inwards the USA mightiness endure your best pick.
