Hi everyone,

I have been looking for a site like this, where I find other PhD researchers around the world and share ideas. I am in my first years phD and started a month ago in the UK. A month has past already!

Is there anyone in there 2nd or 3rd year (or more) in there phD who would like to share some learning experiences i.e. what did you wish you knew when you started?

Thanks

Welcome! And good luck with your studies! There have been posts in the past where people have listed their tips - do a search on 'tips' and they should come up.

But if you don't find it, a tip from me (end of 3rd yr) is to be careful about how much extra academic work outsuide of your PhD you do. It can mean that you won't finish in 3 years.
