It most certainly is not especially for biomedical science PhDs. I literally just did one. They are including tuition remission in their 40k number that Temple is touting on their website. They are giving 20k in actual take home money for their PhDs which is absurd. I made 32 by the time I finished and lived in a way cheaper city

Temple grad students are making less than at any other school that is of equivalent rank (R1)- it’s absurd to expect people to live in Philly on 19k. And when they aren’t teaching classes they are doing other service to the university, aka research that the university gets credit for and gets published

Do you like advances in medical research? New drugs? They almost all start at these institutions in labs that employ these students

I am the one with the PECO account but my husband got the message and I didn’t. They have both of our numbers lol.
