There are no tuition fees for PhDs in my country. I am thinking...what if the supervisor has just lost interest in me or my research and he is just a jerk and doesn't tell me?
Is it a common problem, supervisors who do not reply or can not be bothered?

So i started my phd in economics about 8 months ago. I have 3 supervisors. Two of them i have been calling and emailing for the past month cos i want to show them what i have done so far, but they have not replied yet. I find it extremely rude and i am starting to think that they are not bothered at all or they might have lost interest in my topic. In this PhD i am not required to attend any classes or to teach, etc. With such supervisors, i think i have started to lose interest. I am very very angry.
I have turned out great jobs abroad just because i wanted to do my PhD, but with no replies i think...i need to drop it? Or maybe apply for another PhD in another University? :-s
