So much of foreign language studies focuses on the romantic languages, so it's refreshing to see someone have such a specialized focus. You'll probably find a lot of helpful info in this section of GC: http://forum.thegradcafe.com/forum/39-languages/ Best of luck with your endeavors! Oh thank you much for these kind words..

I am not a very good decision maker by the way.... So as i mentioned in my first post that I got accepted into 3 different programs at 3 different places... no idea where to go... I understand; it can be tough to decide, especially when all of them are offering you something appealing. Is this a situation like with dessert where you have three pieces of cake and they all look really good and you just can't decide between, or is it like...you're not sure what's in the cake or what factors you should use to decide between the cakes? If it's a matter of being unsure which factors you should consider, I have created this sub-standard flow chart for your perusal: Edited March 21, 2017 by orphic_mel528 Added sub-standard flow chart for the secret ichthyologist's perusal. ratanegra19 and FeetInTheSky 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what I'm gonna do tonight... check out apartments and cat adoption sites... haha ! Congrats, first of all! And omg...I have TOTALLY been checking out cat adoption sites too! I want a kitty for grad school round 2! I'm just super uncertain right now because it's been over a month and a half since my acceptance and they keep telling me "maybe we'll know more in a couple more weeks" when it comes to funding. Ugh!

tennesseewilliams Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Hi, I haven't really posted much on here, but I'm so excited! I got into my top choice, University of Oregon. No first year funding, but a tuition waiver & TA job the second year! Although I received a fully funded offer elsewhere, Oregon really feels like a better fit for me (not to mention that it's higher in rank than the other school), so I hope I can figure something out that can help with first year tuition. I know most people (and possibly common sense, haha) would advise that I go with the fully funded offer, but I feel so strongly about UO, I'm wondering if going into a little debt might be worth it... what do you all think?

Every professor I have ever spoken to has advised never to go into debt for a PhD. However, your financial situation might be different enough that it wouldn't matter. If you already have student loan debt, I would not continue to accrue that. This is in part because of the uncertainty of the humanities job market post-grad; will you be able to afford to pay your loan payments every month?
