I imagine it's not like this everywhere, but my cohort (at least the ones that survived after the second year) became very close, and we formed reading groups, and qualifying exam study groups, and gave each other mock job interviews, and so on. Faculty life is a lot more atomized, I've found--I rarely talk to my colleagues about their research in any depth, for example. So yeah, I kind of miss that community, but I'm also glad to be done with all the hoop-jumping that goes with grad school and untenured asst prof status.<br /><br />I liked your comment over at Dean Dad's place this morning, btw.Shane in SLChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09009969830290878311noreply@blogger.com
