Should I accept an offer to a Phd Program that didn't give me funding?

[Just Jeff]

I got into the PhD program at Temple, but I forgot to mention that they didn't give me funding.

 

Or should I wait to reapply next year? What do you guys think?

It's an unvitation buddy.

Lol. True. Yeah, I guess I'll just wait to reapply. It wasn't exactly my dream school anyway. It was more of a safety school, but there's no safety in it since there's no funding, right?

what's your field? is a PhD typically funded for your field?

It's a PhD in English. Normally, schools do fund their PhD students for this type of program, but they said they couldn't fund me, but welcome to the department.

Do you think that the job that you get after graduating will have a starting salary larger than the debt you would incur funding yourself through this program? If not, it is probably a better idea to wait and try again next year

Oh, that gotta sting.

It's cool. I've been through worse.

Yeah, NYU cleaned my pockets majorly. I think it's best to wait another year, get it together, and then reapply.
