Student funding (or lack thereof) can significantly impact various aspects of the PhD experience. A solid funding package might allow PhD students to devote more time to writing/research (and less time to teaching/research assistantships), whereas insufficient funding may force students to take on additional hours of paid work. Both funding scenarios could increase or decrease time to completion.

Did your funding situation impact your time to completion? Was your funding completely unrelated to the time it took you to finish your degree? Respond to the poll below and see how your experience measures up!
