Re: School/funding advice?

[(Anonymous)]

Absolutely go check out that other school! :) I see in an above comment you said it's STEM-focused, but I'm also a social science person at a STEM school. The reality here is that while big data and STEM rule the uni, within my college and department it's much more diverse. I'm pretty heavily qualitative and interpretivist, so this is extra important, but I've still felt very nurtured within my department itself. If you have concerns about this, I think it's absolutely fair to ask the profs and students you might be working with what their take on it is. Ask about epistemological stances and how they navigate working at a school that prioritizes a discipline that isn't always friendly to your own. Their answers might give you a better feel for how you'll fit. It's the department that you'll have to work with, not the university (for the most part). Itll also help you feel around for potential mentors. It's been my experience that even at times when the whole department doesn't quite "get" what I'm doing, having a couple professors at my back is really important. I know my peers have felt similarly about their own mentors. So making sure you've got at least one person who really gets you, whether it's your topic, research methodology, or epistemology, goes a long way in dealing with the other pressures.
