1/4 It was one of the best times of my life !
A Learning high
Seminars | Courses across fields-I remember discussing/debating over coffee with classmates & TA’s. Sometimes with Profs in the corridors.
Evenings on whiteboards mapping our thesis ideas. #Acad #phdchat https://twitter.com/TBrown_birds/status/1290653985112764421
2/4 Support System
formed friendships, learnt about other cultures. 1st camping trip. living close meant picnics/dinner, amount of cooking I did then 🍯

Staff - OMG, everything was done for us- even job applications filled & mailed

TA’s & senior support in 3rd/4th years
3/4 For most,advisors were supportive & gave us time.
Meetings were confidence boosters. I also appreciated discussions of latest research.

My advisor would also frequently check in on me. ( it’s been so & so wks .. )

It was hard to feel lost or invisible.
