plasmoduck posted:Back on topic: Grad school in Europe (at least in the Netherlands, Germany, to some extent Sweden, and definitely Switzerland) is actually not so bad. Takes ~4 years, costs no tuition and usually you count as "research assistant" staff and get paid a salary (with benefits) or alternatively, a stipend (no benefits). I just checked a Lausanne/Zurich postgrad programme and they pay 50,500 CHF (58,052 USD) per year during your PhD. 50k is not a really a lot in Switzerland, it's barely the equivalent minimum wage. You wouldn't starve, but you would probably be living out of town and not doing much. Not that there is much to do in Switzerland. You would also probably still be an ausländer, but most of the Swiss universities are full of foreigner students according to a friend doing a PhD at ETH, so it might not be all that bad.
