Some Vanderbilt students will have $100,000 in total expenses for the 2024-25 school year. The school doesn’t really want to talk about it.

    That’s actually highly variable. Some schools have come a long way in that regard

      AFAIK there is no school paying a living wage (based on MIT living wage calculator) to all their grad student yet, at least not in most major cities.

      JHU just won a wage that is very close to living wage, but not there yet.

          The problem is that most grad students are not taking classes after the first two years, and focuses solely on research. Many with masters will finish even before the second year.

          Then it doesn’t make sense to factor in the tuition for most PhD.
