@schizadri@lilusdivert no one said set working hours, but in most cases forty hours a week will not be enough to complete the work you're expected to do
@kaede106548211@yuzu_4ever its good compared to grad schools in general, but not really compared to peer schools and COL. i'm at another ivy and get 48k but COL is on the floor compared to Cambridge area
@Mytho_1776@SashaGusevPosts the evidence is that i’m actually a graduate student and involved in graduate admissions and know what students look for in a program 😭 i think harvard’s got it figured out on how to recruit productive students and they don’t need advice from chuds on twitter
@Mytho_1776@SashaGusevPosts an apartment. food. car payments. student loans. healthcare. ideally so you don’t burn out some money to actually live a social life. ideally a retirement account
@Mytho_1776@SashaGusevPosts why do you think harvard wants a larger number of lower quality students? (if you think the high quality ones would stick around on an unlivable salary when they could get offers at other ivy+s, you are wrong)
@Mytho_1776@SashaGusevPosts real lovers of knowledge would go to an institution where they can afford to focus on their reasearch and studies instead of being forced to take on other jobs to avoid going into debt
@Awesome0ai@StephenESachs I think that they know that students at peer institutions are doing better, and are displeased with this. i'm also not sure that faculty making more than professors at 99% of institutions are going to deliver the message you're expecting.
@Mytho_1776@SashaGusevPosts people that aren't independently wealthy would be filtered out, which is bad for productivity and science. Plus, anyone with a brain would go to another ivy+ school offering tens of thousands more.
