Otago University Postgraduate Students

A forum where Otago Postgraduate students can post events, share research tips and tricks, and rant about all things postgraduate.

Keep an eye out for the latest updates on Otago University postgraduate social events, research seminars and scholarship information. If you come across anything you think others might find beneficial (or just amusing), then feel free to post it. Also, don't forget to invite your fellow postgrads to join this group if they haven't already! Feedback and sharing of the workload is always welcome, so

Hey Postgraduates- especially PhD's- Tell us how you felt once you submitted- elated? let down? It's an interesting experience- I find using my brain for everyday mundane cognitive activity foreign and difficult- it's also an emotional roller coaster- it's a "Now what do I do?" feeling- and with finances completely depleted- very scary- I'd love to hear your experiences- just leave your comments below! :)
