Um, "research" is what you're going to be doing as a master's student and as a doctoral student.

Quite possibly, but there's always the possibility of at least partial funding. Also, you wouldn't be spending much, if any, more for a top-tier program than a lower-tier program. If you're spending about the same amount of money, why would you settle for a lesser opportunity?
