Does it actually cover expenses? From what I read stipend does not even cover rent in expensive university towns. I could study on tropical island, be unemployed,
party every day and still have better disposable income.
My fiancee is getting her PhD in physical chemistry and is paid well enough to afford rent and food and the occasional nice thing.
It's actually just a little under the median household income for the area, so theoretically it's doable even with kids, though that speaks more to the level of poverty in Philadelphia.
