I'm considering doing a fully funded Ph.D at a non-name college in a non-name country.
Is this a bad idea? Ph.D will probably be something involving mathematical modelling as that's the field I'm most proficient in. It's fairly applied stuff so hopefully it won't ruin my employment prospects afterwards.
With regards to smarts. I don't know, I'm top 15% of my Masters class at a university that isn't a complete disaster.
DESU, I envision a Ph.D at a lesser ranked institution to be easier and more secure and I might even get employed there afterwards.

I didn't want to be offensive to anyone. Can I just say it's a university in New Zealand?

Nah go for the comfy points.
No one here is going to make it into the annals of history so why suffer instead of taking the easy way?

That's not a thing that happens. You don't magically become unemployable because you know things.

If you can do well in your field and make a name for yourself then it doesn't really matter what uni you came from, to a certain extent. So it depends on your motivation and what you want to do after your PhD.

Industry or academia after graduation?
If industry - no one will care, if academia - dick sucking is gonna be your middle name for a while so you better get your knee pads out and get comfy with it.

hundreds of thousands of hopefuls just like you knew that if one wins a nobel prize with their dissertation, it won't matter what university they come from, Stanford tenure will await them.
