I attended the OSU Graduate and Professional School Fair that was located in the Performance Hall on the 1st floor of the Union. The fair was on November 6th from 4:30-6:30 p.m. There were about 25 attendees, including the College of Engineering, College of Law, College of Medicine, Fisher College of Business, etc. This event relates to International Affairs because many of my fellow scholars and I are interested in attending graduate school. There are many choices to choose from so I found it nice to be given the chance to explore my options as a freshmen in undergrad. Also, it is common for people to attend graduate school out of their home country, so, in a way, graduate schools connect like minded individuals from all over the world. Since I was a freshmen, I was just looking and not really asking in-depth questions, but next year I will ask more about the application process and the life-school-work balance. For a while, I was adamant about not going to graduate school because I didn’t want to stay in school longer than I had to, but talking to people helped me realize that I should at least consider the option. The event helped me see that graduate school is not as bad as I was making it out to be.
