University of Pennsylvania PhD Political Science

[amripley]

I'm a prospective applicant to the PhD program in the Department of Political Science at UPenn. My focus is in the IPE arena, and I'm interested in working with Julia Gray, Jennifer Amyx, or Edward Mansfield. I'd like to hear from a current student or recent graduate of the program about funding opportunities, RA, TA, and fellowship opportunities within the Department, student engagement with faculty, and perceptions of faculty overall. Is the general feeling that PhD students are well supported throughout their time at Penn? Side-comments about living in Philly are also appreciated. Feel free to PM me if your prefer.

As far as I know, Gray has left Penn for LSE.

@Penelope Higgins So it seems; that wasn't immediately obvious on the Department's website. Penn's still of interest, however.
