申请applied math 的phd，地理位置是很重要的考虑因素吗？

it's all personal choice...

for me, location is way more important than rank....

but what is most important of all is doing what you like...which means you have to really apply to a school that has some aspects that truly interest you...aside from the financial support

define地理位置好。天气好？大城市？某行业发达？犯罪率低？中国人少？。。。
我猜你可能是想问，数学PHD去industry工作的前景如何？这个就真的取决于个人的motivation了。。在大城市的intern起来方便一些，不用飞来飞去，系里跟周边公司的联系也能更多些，可能拿些project来做做。当然phd最重要的肯定还是安心做好research，每天想想问题发发papaer，需要travel开会的时候问系里要路费就好，位置偏一些反倒更能安心学术。UIUC UMN UMW这些地方什么时候担心过招不到人。。

it's funny that a lot of new Chinese students complaining that America is like a big rural country...

but the people i know who have been settled down here for like more than 10 years actually dont like big city like NYC b/c it's too crowded...

lol...

people changed...
