What Are Your Real Experiences in Grad School?

[Sudharaka]

Hi everyone, :)

Now I am sure many of you are grad students or have experience being a grad student. I would like to start this thread as a discussion about grad school and your experiences as a grad student. From my conversations with numerous grad students I gained many life experiences, how people think in grad school, what are the things that they expect to do after graduating, whether they are happy being in grad school and all these conversations have been interesting and thought provoking.

So how are you guys finding grad school? For me it wasn't easy especially during the first few semesters where I thought I wouldn't get through it. But things have changed and upto now I am doing reasonably good (not exceptional but good). :)

Thank you. I am doing Cryptography and currently in the final few semesters of my masters. I am focused on Homomorphic Encryptions (fully homomorphic encryptions) specifically. :)
