Master's Student: So far, the only negative parts are transitioning from being an undergraduate to a graduate and feeling like I should know everything simply because I'm a graduate student. One kind of bigger issue is that it feels like the communication is slow, like the week before school starts and I'm still unaware of which classes I'm a TA in or how I should be arranging my schedule for work in the lab as a TA and for my thesis. My lab team is incredible and the undergraduates are very helpful in training me in the main procedures while my advisor/mentor is amazing at directing my research and answering my questions about everything.

My peers who didn't take a science path had to work harder to choose the appropriate classes and professors for their studies. Some classes for them were a waste of time. I only had this experience with one program.... Read 30 reviews
