Maybe not risky for the OP if they are from one of those countries. We know nothing about the OP at this point.fresh_42 said:
Even then, or especially then. An independent spirit is not particularly welcome there at the moment. And a conformist spirit is not a good basis for starting a doctoral project.CrysPhys said:
Acme? Don't use marihuana in Moscow/Russia. Brittney/Brian didn't like the outcome , and no one will likely negotiate for your exchange. At least not unless/if, you become a top Physicist.fresh_42 said:
I don't know whether stating facts is already politics, so I just add three rulings on 3 Westerners these days: (6.5 , 16 , death). Definitely risky.WWGD said:

I just hit " like " now, like, like now.Vanadium 50 said:Yup.
You can hit "like" now.
No.CrysPhys said:
No, Post #1 above is the OP's only post so far at PF. When V50 said that the OP had been back, he probably was just referring to the fact that the OP was last seen returning late last night (US time), which means they saw our replies. But they chose not to post anything to help guide this thread along, unfortunately...CrysPhys said:
Trouble with the Internet in Albania? Chrome will do that. So will Firefox, Bing.berkeman said:
LOL, OP is not in Albania. (Only Mentors can see their location.)WWGD said:
See posts 12,13, 14. And like, V50s, 12.berkeman said:
He also posted this on SE. Complete with the baby talk ("wanna" and "PLEASEEE" - do people really think writing like this will help them get into a doctoral program?). He didn't respond to any of these.gwnorth said:
In fairness, given his location and some language issues, "wanna" is used pretty often by this demographic group, unfortunately. The other imploring word, not so much.Vanadium 50 said:
Some of the top universities in the US for PhD programs include Harvard University, Stanford University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), University of California—Berkeley, and California Institute of Technology (Caltech). These institutions are known for their strong research programs, faculty expertise, and resources available to PhD students.
European universities often have different structures and funding models compared to US universities. Many European PhD programs are more research-focused and may require less coursework. Institutions like the University of Oxford, University of Cambridge, ETH Zurich, and LMU Munich are highly regarded in Europe. The choice between the two often depends on specific research interests, funding opportunities, and personal preferences.
When selecting a university for your PhD, consider factors such as the research focus and expertise of faculty members, availability of funding and scholarships, the university's reputation in your field, location, and the overall environment for graduate students. Additionally, think about the potential for collaboration and networking opportunities within your area of study.
Yes, several universities are recognized for offering robust funding options for PhD students. In the US, institutions like Stanford, Harvard, and Princeton often provide generous funding packages. In Europe, universities like the University of Amsterdam and University College London also have competitive funding opportunities. Always check the specific programs for details on available funding.
The university's location can be quite important, as it can affect your quality of life, access to research facilities, and networking opportunities. Urban universities may offer more collaboration with industries and research institutes, while rural universities might provide a more focused academic environment. Consider your personal preferences and how the location aligns with your research goals and lifestyle.
