      relax enough to take the time to go through problems carefully, but not so much that you run out of time. I know, not very helpful.

  21. what are the best US cities for an international female student?

    1. eco_env

      eco_env

      every city has safer an less safe parts, and stipends are often based on cost of living. I don't think it makes sense to choose schools to apply to based on these criteria. in any case, you can use this to look up cost of living in cities with programs that interest you: http://www.bestplaces.net/col/ Someone also shared a link to crime data by address, but i don't remember what it was.
