Temple graduate student Leslie Allison, a doctoral candidate in the English Department, spent $5 and about 90 minutes to craft a cartoon satire of Ph.D. life that has attracted almost a million views on the Web. The humor in her parody "So You Want to Get a Ph.D. in the Humanities" is biting, but Allison stresses that her real-life professional experiences have been positive at Temple — exceptionally so — despite the bile of the video. She notes that Temple's graduate program has given her funds, plus full health insurance.
