re: Question for OT'ers who went to grad school.

I'm gonna be going for my masters in Sports Management soon. What was your experience with grad school? How different is it than undergrad? (Besides the obvious increase in difficulty of work).

I was 34 years old, married with one kid on the ground and another on the way when I entered Grad School. I was pretty worried to be honest.

In retrospect, I thought college was much easier the second time around. I was there doing something that I wanted to do which helped. The workload is certainly heavier but as others mentioned the Profs are generally much better too. The big change I saw was the amount of group work in Grad which I didnt encounter much of in Undergrad.

My only issue with Grad School was the apparent unwillingness of the University/Profs to deal with well documented slackers particularly in courses where group work made up a large portion if not all of the final grade. A lot of folks would make the grade without any measurable contribution to the projects. This saddled a few people with the bulk of the work. I dealt with slackers in Undergrad but really didnt expect to run into that in Grad School too.
