5 years? Is your wife slow?

Are you not familiar with Ph.D. programs in a hard science? Obviously not. You get your Ph.D. somewhat at the whim of the professor who runs the lab you work in (her degree is in Immunology, and she did AIDS research in the lab there at Stanford). She worked with two fellow Ph.D. candidates who were in that lab getting their Ph.D. for seven years. She then got a Master's degree in Public Policy from The University of Michigan which was just 2 more years.
Good for you that you said this moronic thing online and not in person in front of a bunch of post-docs who know better. How embarrassing for you.

If you don’t (didn’t) know, now you know, Flagpole.

Well, no, I had never heard that story. I also don't understand how someone could be working on a Ph.D. for 19 years. Obviously that's a HUGE outlier. What a creepy and weird story.
It is just embarrassing to most Americans to spend their entire twenties in school while most are contributing to society.
Not if it requires spending $320k. I would rather purchase a new house for $320k at the conclusion of college.
What exactly do you care about or look for from a college other than running? Do you have something in particular you want to study? Have a career in mind? If nothing else, is there particular weather you like or don't like?

"Handle the academics there..." you're kidding, right? Its hard to get in, but once you're there, they practically bend over backwards to ensure you succeed. For a prestigious school, the grade inflation is remarkable. They only recently allowed grades below a C, and even then, its really hard to get below a C. Basically as long as you show up, you'll pass every class with a C.
Big companies take that into account when hiring. They will pick somebody with a 3.5 from a mid level school over a 3.5 from Stanford any day, all else being equal.

I know lots of PhDs in hard sciences. None of them were actually going in to campus for more than 4 years, but almost all of them took 5 or 6 years to actually be awarded their degree, because of repeated edits and updates to their dissertation. They all were off working a "real job" during that extra year or two.
UNC (Greeley)would be a great choice

I would guess he has those options only in his dreams. Even if he does, it would be ridiculous for him to ask for advice on LR. We can point out that Stanford is far superior academically to NAU and not too much more.

I am righteous, but I am generous and kind. The world would be utopia if everyone exercised my values.
Wow lol. Too bad there are a hell of a lot of people who never even had the luxury to afford your values you dumb sack of sh!t
I can point out that it may cost him 5 times as much to attend.
Stanford.
NAU degree will get you nowhere.......
Are you kidding? If you can afford it Stanford. This is a no brainer.
Stanford. No real decision. Stanford
