aspirantfall18 Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Got funded offer from both universities. The Stipend amount is better for Alabama while Florida is a better-ranked school. Any insight will be of tremendous help. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rising_star Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Is there any particular reason why you wouldn't choose the higher ranked school? How's the research fit at each place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aspirantfall18 Posted March 29, 2018 Author Share Posted March 29, 2018 UA=University of Alabama FSU= Florida State University 1. The stipend amount is far better for UA. 2. The semester fee (though I have received full tuition waiver) is higher at FSU. 3. The living cost & the weather is almost same in AL & FL. 4. can't comment on research: that's the suggestion i am looking for.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it just the money? Have you talked to potential advisors at each institution? Does your planned research fit well with what folks in either department are doing?
