Thanks for the details Darth: It seems sensible to at least try and secure a better funding package. If it flops, no harm done.

This site seems fairly comprehensive on the issue: http://www.esa.org/students/section/node/412

Thank you for the help xdarthveganx and hello/congrats to everyone. It sounds like we have lots of overlapping interests so I look forward to chatting. It's also nice to know I won't be the only vegan in residence. I do have a few questions: 1. Given your response above, do most students in the program live on campus or is it common to find apartments? 2. What kinds of/how common are summer research assistantship opportunities or otherwise? Do many students stay through the summer or seek work/training elsewhere? 3. Do you know how those coming in with an M.A. (in Soc) have fared in terms of transferring previous coursework into the program AND how this has affected their trajectory (e.g., length of residence)? 4. We can talk about this at the Open House, but, I am interested in hearing about the options/opportunities available to focus on environmental sociology, how many students are doing so at UCI, and how folks with these interests fared in the job market. Thanks again xdarthveganx and I look forward to chatting!
