Should I go to graduate school?

There are multiple questions to ask yourself before you commit time, energy, and money to graduate school.

Not only "should I go," but "when should I go?" and "what degree should I get" and "how long will it take?" and "how am I going to pay for this?"

And "where should I go?"

Consider this to be your personal "should I go to grad school?" FAQ. The collective experience of the faculty, students, and staff of Oregon Graduate Institute's Department of Computer Science and Engineering has been mined to address concerns common to all students.

Specific examples are based on what it's like to be a grad student in the Department of Computer Science at OGI, but in general, the information given here applies wherever you choose to attend.
