Basic knowledge of graduate student life

Introduction

Congratulations to all the new graduate students on your admission
This site was created to answer simple questions that people who have enrolled in graduate school have, such as "What kind of life does a graduate student lead?" and "What exactly do I do about research and job hunting?" Each article is written by a current graduate student at the University of Tokyo, based on their own experiences. We hope that you will find the opinions of those who have gone before you useful and helpful
It is up to you to decide what you want to do in graduate school. If you just do things without thinking, the few years of graduate school will pass by in a flash. It is important to clearly identify what you want to do and what you need to do, and set goals for yourself. We hope that you will have a meaningful graduate school life
