In my case, doing a PhD with no funding is not an option because I could not afford it. But even if I could, I would never do it: they should pay you for what you do, you are a researcher and thus a resource for them, and doing it without being paid is just wrong. Wrong for you as a person, and as a valuable professional. But of course this is just my opinion about it...

Yes I read that too. But the Carolina Population Center seems to be involved in many poverty/development related projects (even with the UN, among others)...

I am interested in poverty alleviation, development and social policy (especiall yrelated to education, health and labour markets). I would say more students from Chapel Hill go to IOs and think tanks, than from Indiana. Students from Indiana go more to universities (especially professional schools). Indiana department seems more specialized in governance/management/political sciences than I would like but the department looks stronger from the financial/research point of view than UNC is. 2 public policy professors working in the US (I am Italian and studied mainly in Italy) recommended Indiana, but UNC seems to do a lot more development/social/population studies (which I like) than Indiana does. What do you guys think?

Which one should I choose between UNC Chapel Hill and Indiana Bloomington for a PhD in Public Policy/Affairs? I have heard that UNC is slowly decreasing in resources invested within the department, while Indiana seems to be growing financially and from the point of view of research quality as well. However, if I look at my research interests, UNC is a better fit. From the stipend point of view, Indiana treats me a little better, but only a minor difference. Please help me with whatever info you have about these departments! I am freaking out here...THANKS!

Have you tried to ask an extension from your second third fourth choices? Sometimes they grant it...

Which one should I choose between UNC Chapel Hill and Indiana Bloomington for a PhD in Public Policy? To be precise at Indiana the PhD would be in Public Affairs. I got funding from both but Indiana pays me slightly more. I have a background in Economics and I am interested in social policy, social inequalities and development.
