I don't know where you're doing your PhD but this absolutely not true.

  It was true about a decade ago (a UC in chemistry)

    If the take home was 490, it was a very bad deal and basically a bursary (which meant you had to have a part time job to support yourself) and not a stipend. Check out Ph.D. stipends (search for chemistry). https://www.phdstipends.com/results https://www.phdstipends.com/results Stipends are meant to be enough to live on (even if barely -- most of the time barely). 490 below livable (even with roommates rent is already 300-400).

      16k a year I meant.

        Oh yeah 16k per year is not unheard of. I was offered that in 2012 (which I promptly turned down for a 30k stipend).
