Hi all,
After various acceptances and rejections, I am trying to decide between two archaeology programs: 1) an Ivy (with no funding for the first year and “possible funding in subsequent years”) or 2) a mid-tier state school (with TAship, promises of summer work, enthusiastic POI, etc).
What is worth more: the Ivy name on my CV or money/experience at a less well known institution? Perhaps some of you are in a similar situation?
Thanks in advance for your feedback!
