Being a grad student at UW-Madison has been really difficult. When I was in undergrad school I had a lot of profs who served as my mentors, always willing to help and share advice. I always felt so comfortable and like I was really part of a good community. Here it's very different; I feel like the MS students are pushed aside to make room for the PhD students and their projects, so to speak. It's like we're black sheep or something. I've found it really difficult to get involved with research and other collaboration, it's almost like you have to "know someone" and work the system to get where you want to do. Good hard work is not rewarded; people who get rewarded are people who just know the prof's really well regardless of their skills. So it's kind of unequal. I wish I could say something more positive about grad school here since I know so many people rave about this university, but I can't think of anything. Hmm…
