Hello esteemed Ecologgers! I would like to hear good & bad experiences of current and past grad students (and postdocs). This is the stuff you can't find online... What advisors do you LOVE, and which do you hate (I will keep that part confidential!!). What university environments and towns do you love, and hate? Granted much is individual, but that's ok. I want to hear experiences, especially the extremes (especially the loves)
Even though I have an idea of what I want to research, I have VERY diverse interests in the ideal world it would be combining wildlife research, policy research and poverty alleviation but like I said, that covers a whole lot of ground. I just want to hear experiences! :) I have searched around online but the closest to this kind of info I've found are two sites I'll pass the links along to, in case they're beneficial to others. I haven't found anything on specific academic advisors (understandably) online other than that rate-my-professor site, which is more about teaching (and hotness lol)!
