Q: What to do before grad school?

Q:What is something you wish you would’ve done the summer prior to starting your grad program”

A: Grad school is one of those things that you can’t fully prepare for, so I wouldn’t stress about trying to “get ready.” Even if you do “prepare,” I’m sure that after the first week you will realize that you are definitely at the bottom of the learning curve.  My suggestion would be the following:  Rest.  Get situated in your living quarters especially if you had to relocate and are also adjusting to a new city/town.  Read more suggestions form the GGW Community here.
