Hello everyone
I wanted to know about the atmosphere of the PhD in Spanish at these universities: Ohio State, Brown, Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Berkeley, Texas at Austin, Miami and Georgetown. I want to know how are the professor and how is work with them, the classes and the environment outside the campus. I also want to know how was your experience and if you recommend me reconsider apply to any of them.
