Mentality of a MS/Phd student
Recently came across students from different univs like Iowa stat, Old dominion n more through my friends...had discussions about the course work, funding, house rent, sports, H1b, GPA n what not...finally concluded that the situation of a graduate student is almost similar wherever he/she is...
There may be different ways of celebrations...cocktail parties, pubs, movies etc..
There may be different studying environment in school n around..
...but ultimately what matters for a grad student is the credit cards, their credit limits, rent of the house, how good r the roomates...
No matter what school or dept u r from...effort is to publish as many papers as u can...that thickens ur resume and also ur advisors...Large efforts are made to publish one paper and then make modifications in the base paper to publish another and increase the tally...
And finally the most important concern to pay back the loan taken from a bank...so work for getting a job....if one is not that lucky enough, need to look for a consultant and then be eligible to work in US...
