Imposter syndrome can be isolating, but it is actually quite common in graduate students. This feeling often leads first year students to have strong sensations of imposter syndrome, believing that they do not truly belong in their programs. This is a difficult but necessary part of the learning curve you will get through it! Most students who pursue graduate-level degrees are likely high-performing students, and suddenly they are thrust into an environment where they feel like they cannot even think properly anymore. This change can feel unnerving because it is more challenging to think this way. Your classes will likely be heavier on reading, writing, and open discussion but lighter on the traditional lecture style that so many students experienced in undergraduate classes. You will be pushed to think through problems and puzzles in new ways, and you will be pushed to come up with your own research questions to tackle. Though it sounds cliche, graduate school truly does require a different kind of thinking than what most undergraduate classes required. The format of learning may be different for you.
Here’s what you can probably expect during your first year of a graduate program. Everyone will face unique challenges, but most graduate students share similar experiences during their first year.
