Business outlook
Pros
In the department of chemistry at Boston University, the professors and students are all kind and supportive people that will motivate you to learn and grow as a Ph.D. Student and Candidate.
Cons
Despite a new union contract, the pay and benefits are horribly low. Boston is a VERY expensive city and living on a Ph.D. stipend is extremely difficult. Of course, the money should not be your reason to pursue a Ph.D. anywhere, but it would still be nice to not have to experience such high financial stress.
