awoh Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 I'm an international student so I don't really know anything about cost of living in America. I have an offer of 22.5k from Maryland. Is this a good offer? Completely average? Below average? How can I determine how good an offer is on my own? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's pretty average for a grad school stipend, from what I have seen. However, grad school stipends are never much compared to what you typically need to live comfortably in a city in the US. You should take a look at some cost of living calculators (here's an example: https://www.nerdwallet.com/cost-of-living-calculator). They'll tell you how far your stipend will go in your selected city, on average. I would say in Maryland with 22.5k you're going to need to live with roommates and keep a tight budget, definitely, but it could be doable. ashiepoo72 and LisKis 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
