I am definitely leaning towards PSU! But I'll also need to sit down and compare the funding amount from other state universities.
For funding numbers, check this website. It's for English department, and I've found out that the stipend is universal across graduate schools. English dep. provides 6 years (wow). But the amount will be similar. https://english.la.psu.edu/graduate/funding-and-support Also, this is the stipend rate for graduate Ss for 2023. https://guru.psu.edu/resources/rates-and-schedules/stipends-for-graduate-assistants?range=20232024&submit=Submit
