Funding levels depends on whether it is MSc or PhD. The monthly stipend ranges from 1000 to 2,500 with most PhD funding between 1700 and 2200 per month.
The biggest expense in the US is rent, so the best way to reduce expenses is by having a roommate. Therefore if a single student can keep rent below 500 per month, the other monthly expenditures should be less than $500, giving a total less than $1000. Although rent varies based on States and is most expensive in California and the North East (New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts).

Most PhD students end up saving. A fully funded single PhD student has no business taking illegal work to make ends meet, or else it is a case of greed.

You will however need to come with about $1500 to settle down before your stipend kicks in.

Everything here is on point. I will only add that some Boston, NYC and Cali PhDs get as much as 2800-3500 a month. There is someone in Boston University who even views this thread occasionally that earns $3500/month. But their rent no be here. A 4-bedroom apartment shared where he stays is $1300 per person. Some Stanford people see $5000 a month single bedroom apartments and $1800/month each in a 3 bedroom shared. Someone who visited recently and stayed with a friend said his friend pays $800 each a month in a 5 bedroom shared spot close to Stanford and that was even subsidised by the school.

In Iowa State here, the PhDs get $1900+ after taxes. The ball park figure is however $30k/year.

nice view points. I have always wanted to know the actual living cost range in Boston and New York especially for an international student. I know that the rate stated on the school site is a watered-down version and not the true picture of things. Can you pls connect me to this person in Boston U? Would love to ask some questions about the school and other things. Thanks

Which program are you applying for? Purdue is regarded as a 'public ivy', this means it is quite difficult to get in. You can give it a try if you have a very good overall profile and high UG GPA.

.

Thanks, food science, UG GPA 4.33/5.

Please I need this as well!!!!

Good morning everyone,
İ need to make some clarifications. İ am considering to apply to southern western Illinois and Arkansas state university. Any red flag about these schools. İ read that İ need to send my transcripts, can i send before i actually apply? Also according to what i read there is no separate scholarship application to these schools, once İ get admission İ wait for funding decision based on my profile. Am i right?

Wao..Thanks so much for your input Scholastica16.

But wait o...why the house cost like his, can person not find faceme -I - faceyou house for rent? . Thats on a lighter note.

With this, i think the Stipends should be sufficient for any real PhD student.

Good day everyone,

Please who has gotten admission into MTU before, i checked my application portal yesterday and realized i have been admitted into MS Mathematics (It has a Statistics option), also applied for MS statistics and data science but haven't been admitted for those. I didn't get any email, no admission letter, it was just stated that "grad accept-pending financials" while others states "Complete-awaiting program decision", there is a new option to submit bank statements.

What do you think i should do?

Thanks

Time2win:

Which of them? You mean college station?

Yes, college station

Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has postponed 2019 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) mock exams scheduled to hold on 23rd March 2019. The board made this known through its Head of Information Dr Fabian Benjamin on Wednesday 20th March 2019.


Dr Fabian Benjamin said that postponement of 2019 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) mock exams was due to Presidential and National Assemble election that was scheduled to hold on 16th March 2019 but was rescheduled to hold on 23rd March 2019 by Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).


when is JAMB mock 2019? Read this on [url='https://masterjamb.com/m/11/JAMB-Mock-exam-date--2019-UTME-Mocks-Exams-has-been-postponed']Master Jamb Website[/url]

I don't even know their aim, they just accepted me to MS statistics again today, the former one was Mathematical science. What's the point of admitting someone to multiple programs and not funding them

Another opportunity guys, fully funded scholarship to study in New Zealand

Remember i am your scholarship plug, send me a message on twitter @study2japa if you have any question

congratulations bro... am a novice in all these GRE stuff. I recently passed out from the nysc scheme sir. l v a few questions though, what is the validity period (in Years) of the GRE exams? or is it yearly like jamb? do I need it to apply for these schools and what portal or site did u use in applying to these schools? thanks

GRE score are valid for a period of five years and it also depends on the time you have taken the test.

For example, if you have taken the GRE exam on or after July 5, 2019, your scores are valid up to July 4, 2024. But if you take the test before July 1, 2019,(say April 30 2019) scores are valid for the following testing year i.e June 30, 2024. Hope this helps you understand clearly.

Good day all,
Big kudos to our seniors here! May your shadows never grow less!
I noticed that most applications here are engineering or related disciplines. Anybody here applying for Phd/Msc in any biomedical discipline? i am an undergraduate of human physiology in a Nigerian university and I intend to apply for Phd in neuroscience in the nearest future.

Also, the information I got is that it is impossible for immigrants to live legally after Phd in Trump's America. Is it true? What do you think is the best thing to do about this? It wouldn't be nice to travel back to Nigeria and start looking for an academic or industry job after Phd in US @Scholastica16 Time2Smile, CuteRedd, Sherlock5577, Pronto543

Thanks.
