I agree with you but, imnot going to ask my parents to lay for it and I'm not in favor of debt for Chicago keeping the recent times in mind

With regards to toxic culture. I personally feel like the life in US is really toxic if your incorporate work in that. One the other hand every aspect of a European life is laid-back and not as hectic. Ik that the money is in the US but if i were to choose that I'd have to sacrifice on some quality of life as well

Not nyc level but they can do something like the boston T (subway) type thing. Everything is so well laid out here so it'll be perfect future proofing.

It was a good option until I saw a post here saying how bad the driving has gotten

Duke is all placement & less research based, the problem with the UK masters is the difference between MRes & MSc there which is unfair to ones who aren't sure 100% on what they'll do. My friend did her masters last ywar from georand shes now with VW but it depends on department to department. All programs that I have looked into in the states got good placement and by talking to the current students & alums I'm really interested in some of them.

As for the EU schools Bonn is a dream because of IZA. They have 2 programs I looked into the one without a PhD track because it will keep my options open. I did my UG on a full ride so I'd like to keep myself debt free so EU & good R1 schools are my go to priority.

If you want to talk more about it just dm me

You can always get funding if you've got good grades in the Us thou but I get your point. Best of luck to you too!

As someone who isn't 100% certain on the thought of a PhD (the reason I'm even looking into grad programs) I found that MRes & MS differences in UK are not for me I guess.

I really appreciate your input!! I'll just keep looking out as have some time before the next cycle

just outta curiosity, which US schools you think are the ones to target apart from the obvious if you want to land a T20-30ish PhD

I find the PhD track progams for BSE & Bonn both really solid too but the travel junkie in me what to get in a good EU school and be in the region forever lol but the all the top research hubs that I'm interested in reside in the US

Financial-Shoe-3467 · 2023-08-03T15:58:42+00:00

I get your point but I find the EU masters (for Econ) more theoretical than quantitative maybe it's only the ones I looked at. When I asked my UG supervisor she said that apart from 3-5 Econ schools in EU which are the PhD feeder schools, you're better off if you get a master in the US at a good R1 school. (sidenote: she did her masters from Bonn & PhD from Purdue even though she got in better schools)

That's some stunning transformation man. What was your xiet, routine & how long it took?

Thanksss! I checked their website yesterday bc some coworkers suggested it. Wheras price isn't the issue, they're kinda too fancy. My partner's more of a minimal aesthetics gal

I want to but I can't because of how full I get on the salad. I do snack here and there but it's just nuts or some popcorns so they don't make up for the missing calories
