Hey all,
At the end of my application cycle, I am quite distressed how to make the right decision for PhD in Political Science (Comparative/IR), and I hope some of you could give me advice.
I have been offered admission to Syracuse with TA+ 2 summers funding, and to Temple with Fellowship + TA. The financial packages are quite similar.
I have no idea which university gives more opportunities in terms of research activity, conferences, summer schools; Syracuse seems to be ranked a bit higher than Temple (#50 versus #70), but the placement histories also quite identical.
If anyone has some experience with the PhD program at both schools or have heard about them, please let me know!
Instead of being happy about the offers, I am quite confused and nervous
