Cornell: Experiences

Ok. I have had enough experience now looking at blogs of different people to write up a blog of my own. So I decided to post some of my experiences at cornell. This is just a draft so please bear with some mistakes. I will improve on this. Suggestions are welcome.

Firstly Grad school a fun place to be for a variety of reasons. You can have a variety of different experiences. But grad study is not like undergrad where life after it is what you chose to be. You become much more constrained. I got an offer from a similarly rated univ for a Masters and I chose this since at that point of time I decided that I was meant for a Phd and went ahead with the decision. But I realised that decisions in life are not made so easily. Well you cannot make a decision from India. Grad study can be a challenging experience, it can make you a better person but there is a chance that it could degrade you Market worth. Lets say what happens when your advisor forces you to work on something that nobody in the industry cares about. Phd is a gamble. It is a nonstandardised degree something one would find hard to judge. Well then it is left to see where I am going to end up. I am seriously debating whether my decision to come here is right or not. I have definitely become better but have I or have I not done the 'right' thing? Only time will tell.
