I’ve been thinking of putting together a booklet of advice for new graduate students. To that end, I’ve been collecting similar efforts on a wiki page. If you know of other good examples, please add them. This is what I have so far:
- Scattered suggestions on reading in college
Modest advice for graduate students
How to be a good graduate student
How to be a terrible graduate student
Networking on the Network
How to be a Leader in your Field
Hosting a speaker
How to do research at the MIT AI Lab
Research essays in the US academic environment
How to survive your Ph.D.
How to succeed in publishing…
How to organize your thesis
How to write a Ph.D. thesis
ABD Survival Guide
Update: Several more have been added to the wiki page, I had some bookmarked I hadn’t added.

Feel free to steal. It’s public domain.
Crap, I think I may have already stolen, since I do think I saw Seb’s collection at some point, and mine mostly duplicates it. A belated citation, then. Thanks, Seb.
There’s also the FAQs from
Nice resources, however I think it would be better if you’d group them under different categories. Also some more explanations on each resource would be nice. Well Done!
