Reviews

<p>Overall, this is a useful reference for undergraduates playing with the idea of graduate school, especially if they are unsure what having a PhD really means. It is well suited for an undergrad journeying across unfamiliar terrain, because the book makes a number of comparisons to the undergraduate life, tailoring its language to this particular audience. This book is also necessary for anyone's parent, spouse, or friend who is asking: what is grad school and why is it taking you so long to get that PhD? --Courtney McDermott NACADA (01/01/2012)
