So I am a 3rd-year student and almost done with my 60 credit coursework (I had a Master's degree in a relevant field so I had a lot of transferred credit from begging). I've passed one of two comps exams, and also completed other miscellaneous requirements as well. I am expected to be an ABD next year.
But actually I am thinking about transferring at this point for the following reasons: first, there are no faculty members that fit my field of interest. I've recently changed my subfield and method substantially, and there is only one professor who roughly matches my topic. I even cannot think of how to fill up three committee members for my dissertation. Second, I really seriously hate the city I am living in. My partner is also looking for a job national-wide. So the chances are that I might have to move with my partner anyway. Third, I don't have much attachment with my MRM department.It is not bad, so-so environment, but seems like not close ties to each other in terms of research or personal relationships.
What do you think? Is it stupid thing to consider at this stage of gradschool?
