What was your experience with grad school? How different is it than undergrad? (Besides the obvious increase in difficulty of work).
Didn't realize my program was a PhD feeder program until I started. My class was pretty awful, I hung out w/2nd years and the MBA's so your social activity will depend on the quality of your class and your ability to make friends.
My program tried to throw me out on some BS cheating allegation once my dissatisfaction with the program became known. Took them and Student Accountability before the hearing and crushed them both
Then went out and got a higher paying job than 98% of my class

undergrad - large size classes (50 - 300 ppl) that you rarely had to attend. I remember tests being every 2-3 weeks covering several chapters from a text book. Tests from previous years passed around as you could cram the night before.
Graduate school - on average 15-20 ppl per class that required your attendance and participation. Exams spread out twice per semester, usually a mid-term, then a comprehensive final. You had to read 1-2 chapters and do homework each week or you were screwed. Research papers were 20-30 pages typed minimum. Two or three mandatory internships that lasted an entire semester
Granted all curriculums and professors are different but that's what I remember from back in the day . 1992 BS , 1994 MS
