I can't believe one of the founders was doing this alongside grad school and PG was like yeah you know, you have a lot of spare time there.
And here I got so much work with full time studying that I can barely finish reading a single book alongside. How can people say university is enjoyable, fun, lots of spare time? For me it's just endless hard work and barely any breaks inbetween.
- Patient0 11y agoyeah that bit didn't ring true to me either - I can't imagine Grad school being "loads of free time" unless perhaps you didn't care when/if you got your masters/PhD (and so just let everything slide).
- tinkerdol 11y agoDepends on what program you're in? In general I think grad school (esp. the PhD level compared to Master's) typically gives the student a lot of freedom. At the PhD level often you are basically an independent researcher and might meet with your advisor once every three weeks or so. If that were the case, and you could complete enough work to keep your advisor happy within one week, that gives you two weeks of time to use...
- beambot 11y ago> might meet with your advisor once every three weeks or so. Only if your advisor is fairly senior (ie. Not pre-tenure)!

- atom-morgan 11y agoIt was definitely true for me. College didn't take that much effort in terms of learning. Most of it was busy work using the term homework.
