Choosing an English PhD program
jadeisokay replied to Space_cowboy's topic in Literature, and Rhetoric and Composition
i can help with living in gainesville, if anything, apologies for not having answers for anything else. moneywise- lawrence is probably cheaper. apartments are strangely expensive in gainesville for a college town- a lot of "luxury" units that are anything but, with low-quality amentities and lots of noise from rowdy undergrads. also, getting around anywhere without a car can be tough on weekends and during school breaks if you aren't immediately near campus. if you have guaranteed summer teaching, though, that's really great. i had a handful of grad students as instructors and they seemed to be happy overall. -

i don't think i'm applying this cycle. i'd love to work with whitney phillips at syracuse if i somehow got in but don't think my mental health can take the hit of moving in what i feel like will still be a pandemic. -

it's kind of frustrating trying to work on writing samples and statements of purpose when programs haven't officially announced if they're accepting applications or not yet. -

@Bopie5 i had to laugh, to outsiders your message would probably seem nihilistic but for those of us in this... unique situation... we call grad life, "everything is literally precarious and a crapshoot but your undergrad doesn't matter" is very sweet and positive and uplifting. -

2021 Applicants
jadeisokay replied to jadeisokay's topic in Literature, and Rhetoric and Composition
fingers crossed for you. i'm thinking pretty much the same. apply to a few places, but look for on-campus gigs close to graduation and just see what happens. i keep reminding myself that there are like, actual classes and things coming up to worry about on top, too. -

jadeisokay replied to jadeisokay's topic in Literature, and Rhetoric and Composition
yeah, i'm pretty bummed. i'm thinking of picking up a tesol certification this coming year and still apply one or two places but seeing what happens. are you going to wait and see who's taking apps this cycle, @Bopie5, or just skip altogether? -
