Graduate school was easier for me. Why one may ask:
I went to college at 17. Consequently, I had no experience in my discipline and had to learn theory. In addition to the aforementioned, my discipline had room for growth. In contrast, I went to Grad School over 20 years later. Hence, I had a wealth of practical experience. Further, in many instances, I had already applied a great deal of the theory. To add to this, my discipline level had grown tremendously, became more assertive over the years, and I was a much more mature person. Graduate school was more of a honing process for me. I believe that it is not a one experience fit all situation. There is so much more that can be stated about this topic. I hope the aforementioned helps.
Great post JROCK and I concur.
Depending on when you enter graduate school you may have a different experience than the next person. A person entering grad school directly after undergrad has no work experience to compare or reflect on as they are learning in grad school. On the other hand, those that wait 5, 10 or 20 years have more work experience and bring a totally different mindset to their coursework.
Overall, I think perspective may play a part on whether one sees grad school as more difficult or not.
You guys are making the question personal, and I understand that it may be easier for some than it is for others. But his question was simply about the difficulty of grad schol in relation to undergrad. Everyone will have a different opinion of how difficult it was for them to complete the graduate program, factors like academic ability, maturation, location, life situation, etc. will all come into play. But I am sure that we can all agree the requirements were more rigourous than undergrad.
I am assuming that is what he was asking. But maybe he did want more personal examples. But like Jrock said....perspective.
I keep hearing that Graduate school is way harder than Undergrad.. Coursework and classes that is!
Is it true.
People say the courses you take in undergrad are like 2 times harder in Grad school? Is it true?
