Advice for your graduate study • Choose your advisor and your field carefully. • The advisor assigned to you now does not have to be your PhD advisor. It is OK to change. • Look around for what you like, for interesting topics, and where the jobs are. • Get the exams (prelims, comps) out of the way as soon as possible. • Build a large toolbox for your work • Take as many courses in differentareas as you can • Remember that progress often comes by an unexpected application of one area in another • Publish several papers already as a student • Grow independent of your advisor over time • Become the best teacher you can • Learn all you can about computers by doing • Good luck!
