Skyrocketing living costs and lack of government support are deterring potential PhD candidates. Experts say the obvious solution is to lift the stipend
especially doing the whole PHD is abhorrent, since the pay is very little, and only ever well off students can afford to succeed in the phd in general. disadvantaged students are often unable to compete with students with no financial worries. they did this with columbia ? the med school was free for that class, and the college decided to only choose well of students instead. this doesnt mean disadvantaged cant do grad school , its just they are working 2-3 times as harder to earn it than someone that can afford to spent 24/7 studying.
