[CUNY funding]

Forgive me if this is too off-topic, but as long as we're discussing funding at NY schools, anyone know anything about SUNY Stony Brook's funding record? They say that all admitted PhDs get funding, but don't seem to offer any numbers about stipends. Thanks!

stony brook gives something like 15/16k. the area is probably pretty highly priced to live in since it's on the eastern shore of suffolk county and there's a lot of money around there. stony brook does have some grad apartments though, and they're pretty nice, if you're willing to share (which i wouldn't be). i'm in an MA program now but your list is pretty similar to mine when i reapply to phd's next year-- tufts, maryland, stony brook. a word to the wise with temple: they admit without funding-- OFTEN. i got in last year to their phd and was advised when i asked that there was no money for me. they didn't even say they'd try. brandeis is also in pretty dire straits right now. i got 1/4 of an MA tuition stipend. (i'm not there, that's just what i was offered)
