Lol cheesy. About two years ago, maybe before COVID, cars were very cheap. Back then, anyone can get a used car with something around $3k to $4k, especially when you're buying from someone who want to sell, or leave the US. But now, getting a car isn't that cheap. And it might be hard for a student on stipend to cough out $8k for a used car, unless you reside in a cheap state and your stipend is about $35k per year
.


At the bolded, it is rare or impossible to see a grad student living in a cheap state and earning such amount per year only through stipend. Note I said only. Even many in the bay region don't earn that save for a few in Physics or in competitive STEM.

NYC is one of the most expensive places to live in this country. Even people with no dependents earning over $100,000 per year tend to struggle.

Grad students at some ivy league earn as high as $45k. But then, they spend more too. It depends, in general, on where the school is located. Some schools are in a city where cost of living is high

We are still saying the same thing... You mentioned a cheap state with stipend of 35k hence my initial debate. And the 45k you mentioned in schools in the Bay area or Boston, are only for competitive STEM programs like Physics or Computer Science. Others program in this expensive region particularly in humanities, don't even earn up to 30k as stipend.

Right.. I lived in NYC, and I can tell.. The vast majority of one's pay goes for rent... Except for those who live in upstate New York.

So because you claim to be a Nigerian student with no proof whatsoever to back up your claims, you want us to click on a link that may be used to get sensitive information from us.

You’ve never given back to this community which you know exist but you want us to help you? Nah. Carry your survey comot here.


You even want us to spend our time interviewing when you’re not paying. Orishirishi.

LoL. This is funny. This post sounds entitled "if you're not eligible, you won't be further contacted". Sounds as if you're paying for people's time. Unless you're paying , anyone that have something meaningful to do with his time will not positively respond to a post like this
