Also, my favorite question to the community:

It it possible to survive at UNC on 20K for 2?

As far as I can understand - it is cheaper than Maryland

Yeah, I've been wondering about the same issue. But my friend lives around there told me that living in NC was a lot cheaper than in MD.

I got in UMD too, and they stated that they nominated me for some addition fellowship that might be able to bring me a couple thousand extra than the stipend.

But I still think Umich is better (better stipend too)...

Still waiting for results....

Congratulations, Holden_Caulfield

Really GREAT FANTASTIC SUPER ADMIT!!!

Good luck for your fiance. Sure she will get in and, hopefully, in a place close to you

Thanks a lot, folks!
Yep, UNC is cheaper than UMD.
I'll go to both places for visiting weekend and share my experience with you.
Cheers

Thanks, Asphalt

I just came back from the visiting weekend at UNC.
It seems that I'm in deep love with this school and I really amazed with the quality of the program, graduate students and professors there. Chemistry department has very good funds and very friendly community. It was ranked #1 for Analytical Chemistry and in top-15 for Chemistry in general (tied with Princeton, Yale and so on).

Campus is very beautiful - a lot of trees and old buildings. Also, 5-acre garden right 5 min from my department.
Rent is very reasonable. Restaraunts are cheap. A lot of woods and lakes around. 2-3 hours from ocean.

And UNC basketball team just beat Duke! :^)

It sounds to me like you're sold!

Still waiting for any other schools, or have you made up your mind?
