求就业情况。有人能说说吗

我一个relationship给我回的邮件，他在GW做PHD,你好好参考下吧。

1. GWU, as an old private university in downtown Washington DC, the tuition is pretty high. The expenditure of each  credit from different programs in different levels varies, too. Some popular and strong programs cost more for sure, such as medical, law, public health, statistics and finance etc. So far, I know each credit of STATS graduate program cost around $1300, pretty fair and normal for STATS program in private school. Living in DC is expensive, too. Here are two ways I will say pretty reaonable. 1, Rent an apt. from campus, it cost around $1100 with all utilities every month and it is a walk distance from campus; It is fair as saving time and the metro every month may cost you around $200 I guess; 2, Rent an apt with some friends in VA (eiher Arlington or Alexandria), they are not cheap, either. So far, I know the studio without internet in Pentagon city is around 1400, but some Chinese share the studio~ Though I don't like sharing bedroom, but that's an option~ Please never think about east DC and MD, there is much higher crime rate there! Actually one more option, you can think about Fairfax in VA, which is close to GMU, it's farther but cheaper~ Btw, one thing you may appreciate in DC is you don't need to purchase a car, metro brings you anywhere and it is convenient for sure. In case, you need some help, your friends, including me, always can help you out as I am not going to sell mine, lol~



2. I think it is not true. As a metropolitan city, there are definitely more chance to find a job in DC. A lot of intern opportunies carry on in the department of statistics. Different people have different choices when they finish their master degree. I cannot tell what is the majority option as we have more than 160 masters, but as I know, most Chinese master students prefer to persue their study or go back to China. It depends on your own career plan, but also determinence I think



3. I bet that's a rumor to throw some bad influences of the professors in STATS program. You know, some professors here are really well-known, such as  Mahmoud, Singpurwalla, Balaji and so on. Though that's my first year here, I think they are super nice when we are talking and I am taking some of their classes, too. Though I have heard they failed students, but not to hard-work students~ Their lectures are well prepared and some of them have some accents, but I don't think that's a big deal. I don't understand what you mean about study effect~ But so far, I believe Chinese are totally in their classes, at least, those in master degree I know are very smart and do really well. I am pretty sure if you work hard, even not that hard, at least, finish your homework by your own on time, and take notes and focus on the lectures, it is not that hard to get at least A_ or B+ in the classes, A is possible, too. Another example I can share, I heard last semester, Prof. Mahmoud gave 13 A's to 15 students, and 1 B and 1 F, 10 of A's are Chinese and the F guy is a Chinese, too. You are smart and I think you know what I want to say~
