From Undergrad to Grad (Part 3)
This week we continue
our fall series, asking current students who came to graduate school right
after they finished their undergraduate experience about their advice for
others who may be applying soon. This
week the question we asked was:
How has it felt to
transition from undergrad to graduate school?
I felt like the
transition was smooth, especially at Pitt. Because of Pitt’s
confidence-building curriculum, the first year is primarily coursework and
classes.
I was very much in my
comfort zone, and a lot of my study skills from undergrad came in handy!
Having coursework made
it feel similar to undergrad, but there is much more to balance and the courses
are more challenging.
While it is challenging,
there are many people available to help guide and support you during this
period of transition.
For me, the transition
was really smooth. Having just graduated from Pitt for undergrad, I was very
familiar with the campus and Pitt in general, so that was one less thing to
adjust to when starting classes in the fall.
I knew what worked best
for me in regards to taking notes and studying, which definitely was helpful!
