I went to a state university and I was paid about $1,000 a month as a graduate student researcher, while living in a $1,700 a month dorm.

yeah i was in grad school 10 years ago. I made about $1000/mo, and my rent was about 900. After food and other necessities, I was losing about 300-400 a month.

If i was in school today, I'm confident I'd be making 1200/mo and my rent would be about $2000.
