hmm, thanks for that! i get the same impression from the grad students i know, i.e. that much of graduate work is self-directed (though i think many undergrads, particularly in arts/social science subjects, would say the same about their experience). out of curiosity, what made you want to apply to cambridge instead of a london university, or even oxford again, for your graduate degree?
thanks for your opinion, i was wondering what you would think of the article. (i don't know if the article confused the role of 'college supervisor' with that of 'academic supervisor'...)
