Does anybody know a good PhD/grad school website for the US?
I want to make my PhD in an English speaking country where I can still drive home in a Cadillac convertible without feeling cold when I leave the lab at 10 pm. Best would be if this climat is all year round.
UK and Canada are therefore not good places for me but I thought US might be fine.
don't think my criteria are odd. What I hate about working long hours in a lab is the fact that it's cold and dark once you get out in the evening.
I'm about to finish my Master's degree in France and I realised that I was much more motivated in the warmer month than during winter times.
@ Stu
You're serious about the time difference between US and UK PhD programs? I thought it takes between 3 and 4 years in the UK and mostly 4 years in the US but I'm not sure?!
I think the problem is that a lot of US-programms start at the Bachelor-level and lead directly to the PhD.
I'm trying at the moment if I can get an arrangement for being accepted on advanced standing with my Master's Degree.
But I guess I'll have to spend at least 4 years for the PhD. It's the question if this is worth the international experience. I hope so...
