Can vouch for the incredibly low cost of living and great department folks as a Binghamton English PhD. A stipend increase is exciting news on top of that.
if you’ve got strong undergrads who are interested in doing phds in early modern, consider Binghamton English! Our stipends have just radically increased + Bing is a very low cost of living area, and tho not traditionally a strong hub for early modern, our dept is pretty stacked right now +
