Hi everyone,
I've heard time and time again to not go to a phd in an area or a school you want to end up in because schools don't like to inbreed. Given this, is it better to go to University A, which has a weaker department but name recognition. It has about 1 -2 professors working on your issue and less funding but not in the area you want to end up in. OR University B, better funding, one of the best departments, about 5-10 amazing professors in your field but in you want to teach at this place eventually (you hope) and stay in this area?
Thoughts?
