Is a PhD better in the UK or the USA

W

I am looking for a PhD, but found it quite hard to find funding and a place in the UK which made me look outside of the box and USA.

The US universities pay for all fees and give a good stipend.

I am wondering if anyone has some comments on which PhD will be better

Unless you have a money tree in your back garden I would have thought the answer was relatively obvious.

well...not really...lol! although the US is the answer but just thought would like a comment from people who have been in similar situations

The US doesn't fund all PhDs. Like the UK, some are funded, and others are self-funded, and many are paid for through a teaching somewhat heavier than UK students usually have. As for the relative numbers of funded PhDs and the stipends - I don't know about that.
