Purdue University-Main Campus

Finance, Management, PhD (F20)

Accepted via Other on 10 Mar 2020

Note

The main dealbreaker for me is lack of respect and funding, they even couldn't afford dataset subscriptions for PhD students, and three PhD students share a shoe-box basement office that is two-level below the ground, I can't imagine living like that for 5-6 years... good professors going to leave/retire which makes current students hard to graduate/find jobs, etc. The guy told me that nowadays Purdue only invests big money for Engineering and undergraduate housing and basically abandoned most other departments. I can understand why Krannert ranked so low now. I also got offers from U of Arkansas and waitlisted for U of Kansas, I am leaning towards Arkansas at this point. It ranked a bit lower but pays me much more. What about you, do you know anything from these two places?
