All students are fully funded here for the first five years. After
that you're on your own, although you have a shot at whatever money
is left over. It's a pretty good deal. I don't see why completing a 
sociology phd should take longer than five years anyway, unless you're 
doing historical research. Most of the folks who take longer around here 
didn't really have their acts together when their dissertating time rolled 
around. The people who are thinking ahead about their projects usually 
finish in 4 to 5 years. I don't think we have anyone who's been here
more than six, maybe seven years.
