<p>Do poli sci students live in dorms? socially: how is government school different from undergrad?
do most people go directly from undergrad to government school? which government school has a "dead poets society" feel to it?
do people hang out in each other's rooms? do people have philosophical debates till 3am? </p>
<p>also put down which school of government you're answering these questions to</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>You might want to focus on your undergrad right now. Challenge yourself, research, get to know your professors (you’ll need great professor recommendations), and try to get published. Prepare for your GRE’s and don’t wait until the last minute to take them.</p>
<p>Coincidentally, I was just talking about poli sci masters degrees with a professor of mine, a retired ambassador and former deputy secretary of state. He was bemoaning how useless poli sci masters degrees are now. Apparently, “back in the day” they were excellent degrees to have, but now you’re not going to get anywhere with one, and most programs won’t even admit people looking for a terminal masters. It’s PhD or nothing.</p>
<p>And grad school is nothing like undergrad, in terms of social life.</p>
