UIUC MSPE, GWU MA ECO, UMICHI SNRE Environmental Policy and Planning 学费

GWU MA Eco的学费生活费4万4一年（两年的项目）

UMICHI MS ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY AND PLANNING 的学费生活费$60600, 学费$40410, 生活费18000

用UMICHI的student center里的计算器算出来的

GWU 好歹在哥伦比亚特区，一年生活费才一万九，我死活也想不通，为毛ANN ARBOR的生活那么贵
一年要18000
下面贴UIUC的MSPE一年的学费加生活费， 53000

我本来是很想去UMICHI读环境的，结果现在有点被他们高昂的学费吓到。
又很烦天天Eco天天和数据模型打交道
所以真心比较迷茫不知去哪里好
CSC本来想申，但是人家要硕博连读才能申
MSPE虽然是PHD TRACK但是学校又不能给证明一定能读上博士
所以现在钱成了大问题

刚在Urch 论坛里看到这么一段话，感觉很有道理：
I spoke with UIUC via email for their MSPE program, and while they offer a lot of coursework and flexibility to learn economic and mathematical theory at the graduate level, the faculty are, by historical standards, not very eager to work with masters students on independent research projects. Furthermore, there are no Research Assistantships available at UIUC. This means that the two best ways to gain research experience at a masters program are at best difficult, if not almost impossible to gain at that school, which is a real bummer.

I cannot help but think that a program like UC-Denver, which is designed specifically for getting students into PhD programs (and have successfully placed students at top-25 programs) would be a better fit than UIUC, despite the fact that the faculty will, for the most part, be "unknown". I feel like a customized curriculum which can involve my research interests, and a department that is willing to work with me on that, would be better than a higher ranking program that for the most part isn't.
虽然UIUC排名很不错，但是系里那个MSPE的学生不能申请TA也不能申请RA的政策真地很伤人啊
