    Not the collegiate type, so....is that like "advanced college?" I'm guessing it is something like that.

    $24,000/year, just as I thought. Looks like I get health insurance too. :TKO:
    I signed the acceptance letter and I'm sending it back tomorrow! :hyper:

    I'm super happy that I'm getting health insurance. Apparently the university pays it, and I can get super cheap treatment for whatever the heck. Granted, it's probably from med students supervised by some unknown doctor, but whatever. :P

    Congrats!

    It's obvious you aren't coming to my school. They're paying you probably $8,000 more a year than I get.

    Watch out for that health insurance though; it might just be for emergencies, and even then they won't even foot the bill for breaking both your legs at the same time...

    As a chemistry PhD student, I'll be applying for grants and doing research with the university's name on it. I'm also hired to teach labs and basic classes. It's like being a mini-professor who is bossed around by all the other professors. :async:
