And we already have the top research universities in the world.

Addressing the runaway inflation with public university tuition would be a much more practical and beneficial approach.

I’m not sure a bunch of High School graduates would have split the atom in the 1940’s or got us to the moon within 50 years after the first flight.

19k is barely above what I made as a PhD student at UMaine a handful of years ago and it should go without saying that my cost of living was a hell of a lot less ($500 / room rent) than Philly.

Also, anyone saying your lab work, teaching responsibilities, and mentor work is part time are being pretty silly.

Try out by where Vanguard is past Paoli or Malvern in the outer Rt 30 corridor. There is new apartment construction off Rt. 29 in Devault, along with a Wegman's, Target, Wawa, etc. Easy access to 202, 30 and the Turnpike. All within the Great Valley School District. Commuter rail/Amtrak runs roughly parallel to Rt. 30 with stops in Paoli, Malvern and Exton.
