PoliSciEntist

I agree with most of this but I think rent is closer to 140 pounds a week rather than per month. College accommodation probably starts around 80 pounds per week minimum.

Michigan sounds ideal as you could do the joint PhD in Political Science/Public Policy = One of the top departments for American politics + one of the top departments for public policy (ford school)

I was under the impression PoliSci isn't being ranked this year. http://www.usnews.com/education/blogs/college-rankings-blog/2012/02/15/best-graduate-schools-rankings-launch-march-13

Morse and Lewis = great television. Have you seen Endeavour? It's a one-off prequel to Morse which was produced recently.

As this was mentioned recently: http://youtu.be/C-NqcA7BnOU

It seems very odd indeed. I'm not convinced.

Ok, now this is just crazy...

Random question, trying to gauge what the usual amount of contact is with faculty/students after receiving an offer? From 2 schools I received emails from 1 POI whereas from another I have received emails from three faculty members and a student. Just wondering.

Anyone want to claim the Harvard Gov Department offer?

It refers to teaching loads and the amount of classes taught each semester.

That's awesome! Congratulations

Ah ok. Interesting though as only requesting the information at such a late stage provides ample room for speculation... Let's hope it means you're being considered as a serious contender!
