Information on Phd lifestyles...?

Most schools (almost all) declare a sentence more or less like "all students are granted with funds upon admission". Unlike undergraduate or MBA admission, there's less room to worry about funding in PhD. Reason include (1) you get to PhD level, you prove you are set in your way, so deserve a grant (2) you work as a TA in return

Beautiful points by Praet..
Thanks for share these points really helpful for me.

Very Fine thanks for sharing...

The rewards are not immediate. Academic research sounds easy. Define the problem, show how your paper contributes to current literature and show that you indeed made those contributions by using models and experiments. However, a typical student fails at the first 2 attempts in writing a paper. A student belongs to one of these three categories.

Not good at math, not good at discovering interesting research questions and not good at writing either. This is unlikely, but it does happen. As you can imagine, such students do not stay long in the program.

Good at math, not good at discovering interesting research questions, but good at writing. This is probably the average student.

Good at math, good at discovering interesting research questions, and good at writing, but the student cannot convert the research question and intended contribution into a model that adequately incorporates the richness of the problem without oversimplifying it. This is probably the standard for a student attempting research for the first time.
