Be warned, top PhD programs are the bane of many relationships and marriages. Being a graduate student at a top program does not make you a great scholar, most are not and never will be. I am frustrated by the cheeriness of this forum, the last thing our field needs is more overly positive modern nonsense. Those who indulge in or need human attachment are weak, they lack the resolve to suffer and destroy themselves for the sake of their art. That's why the average time for PhD completion is 7yrs these days when it should be 4-5.
