Which graduate schools are friendly? | 6 comments (6 topical, 0 hidden)
[new] Counter-Question (none / 0) (#5)

On the topic of graduate schools that are friendly, maybe not too many people will reply to this but it's worth a shot. (First question) Are there any departments that you know of that were extremely NOT friendly? I'm searching for graduate programs so I can start networking with the faculty to see if it's a good fit, but don't know what the response rate will be like and whether or not that is a good indicator of their "friendliness". Most faculty and representatives are nice at graduate school fairs, but they are also paid to be like that. (Second question posed) I know there are some critical skills to succeed in graduate school and beyond. Some of them include the ability to complete work and work well alone and with others, the list could go on from the ones I've heard in the past - but I wanted to know what everyone else thought they felt were "critical" skills. I can understand if no one answers the first question posed, but at least answer the second please. Thank you for your time.
