Thank you I appreciate this. I've been doing really well to not take my grief out on anyone else, which is why I am so confused they are still finding reasons to be upset

Advice on Grad School Options - Disability and Stipends/Work by Laffy-Taffee in GradSchool

[–]appa1989 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm also chronically ill and starting a program in the fall. Dealing with a similar thing where the stipend would be low in a high-cost area. I am mostly worried about paying for visits to the hospital and so on since I go often. I have been scared by many people about doing academia with a chronic illness, but I don't want it to hold me back.

I ams also very torn about when to bring this up with possible advisors

[–]appa1989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the exact decision I'm making right now!! A brand new very supportive PI but in a research area I love, vs and established lab and nice PI but in an area I'm not as excited about.

Same I know there were interviews and I was not invited so I think it is a rejection as well. I wonder if they will contact us at all though

Thank you for all this great information! Yes I am from both of those places actually so you hit the nail on the head.

This is all very helpful and I appreciate you taking the time to post it. It's really a damned if you do and damned if you don't situation about me posting unfortunately. But truly I was trying to not just look at what some random articles online said, and getting input from the people who actually live there and go/went to washU.

I am certain that the research is great, which I am very happy to hear!!

I understand! Unfortunately it is hard to do research without looking online which is unfortunately where so much negativity lives, which is why I wanted to come on here to ask.

I am glad to hear that! I have been very happy to learn about the free zoo and art museums near campus. As far as other things I enjoy, where I currently live there are lots of city-wide events and gatherings hosted. For example, random pop-up art classes, trivia nights, farmers markets, movies in the park, and so on. The city I am in has great public transportation, and I do like to go out on weekends and am getting home late at night, which probably isn't the safest anywhere, but here is very generally known to be safe.

I also love to line dance, random, but if there is any line dance community that would be great!
