Questions to ask current graduate students?

Post by YellowBee » Wed Feb 02, 2022 11:47 am

Once you get accepted to a program, I've heard it's usually helpful to talk to some grad students currently at that school. I want to get a sense of what it's really like to study there. Does anyone have some good questions about the program to ask grad students?

I went to a few information sessions before being accepted anywhere and some common questions were how livable is the stipend, what they do in their free time, how friendly the department is (friends vs. colleagues), does tuition include a transportation pass, and other lifestyle things.
