I'm starting my doctoral journey this summer. Let's talk #textbooks: pros & cons of buying vs renting? Ebooks vs hard copy?

Question for all those who have started a new job or PhD during covid - how have you dealt with working from home and settling into a new place? Feeling like my mental health is taking a hit at the moment #AcademicMentalHealth #AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter #phdchat #phdlife

[Kayleigh Charlton @charlton_k]

I’m talking at a ‘Considering a PhD event?’ this afternoon. Any tips or advice you wish you had known when considering a PhD? @AcademicChatter

@incognegra_ Congrats!! 🎉🎉🎉

[Dina-Leigh Simons @Dina_Simons_Sci]

I’ve compiled a list of common PhD/Postdoc interview questions from my own and other academics’ experiences! Have I missed any?!

(Good luck to my fellow candidates!) #phd #AcademicTwitter #dtp #nerc #phdchat @AcademicChatter

[anthro applicant @AnthroApplicant]

With the time of PhD interviews nearing, what’s your best piece of advice for having a successful interview? Any questions you wish you had asked faculty at this stage? #anthrotwitter #academia #AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter #phd #phdchat #phdadvice #interview @AcademicChatter

[anthro applicant @AnthroApplicant]

@rantdiary12 @PhDVoice @AcademicChatter Yes! Trying to find new things to focus on! 😊 Hope it works out for you as well!!

What’s your best piece of advice for the time period between submitting PhD apps and hearing about interviews/decisions? #phd #advice #anthropology @AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter #anthrotwitter #phdchat #AcademicChatter

People who have ever been in a PhD program: how many programs did you apply to and how many did you get accepted into? Waitlisted? Rejected? I thank you in advance if you’re willing to be honest about this and share!

[Kristen Petagna @KristenPetagna]

Applying to PhD programs is such a weird feeling. On one hand I am incredibly anxious and feeling all the imposter syndrome. On the other hand I am ecstatic to potentially work with people I admire and start an incredible journey! Applicants, how are you feeling? @OpenAcademics

[PhD Forum @PhDForum]

DM I'm finishing my masters degree. I really want to pursue my PhD, but all I seem to hear from others is how its horrible/draining/all-consuming. Is there anyone who enjoys their PhD? And is it possible to maintain a life outside of academia (family, children, other hobbies)?

[anthro applicant @AnthroApplicant]

@taylor_vandoren @AcademicChatter Thank you so much for your advice!

[anthro applicant @AnthroApplicant]

What to write in emails to potential advisors? Attach a CV, yes or no? Ask if they’re taking students? What are faculty looking for in these emails? How can applicants stand out? #AcademicChatter #anthrotwitter #anthropology #phd #AcademicTwitter #highered @AcademicChatter

Grad students, what's one thing you had to learn the hard way, and wish someone had told you the first day of your program?

APPLYING TO GRAD SCHOOL, POST #6: HANDLING APPLICATION COSTS

Applying to grad school is, for many people, prohibitively expensive. But it doesn't always have to be!
