Graduate education establishes an atmosphere of
intellectual collegiality in which interaction
among people with differing points of view is
essential to learning. Students must deal with
subject matter at the leading edge of their
disciplines, a territory characterized by different
and opposing points of view.

the thing I like most about graduate school; freedom
of thought, freedom to pursue whatever idea you think is
really interesting.
