Grad school at Princeton can be pretty intense, and we encourage students to take care of their physical and mental health. For some people this means going to regular therapy sessions, which are provided for a short time (10 sessions) at Counseling and Psych Services free of charge. Extended therapy is available off campus; most of the cost is covered by our health insurance, although the co-pay is not insubstantial.

	# The number one rule for your general exam: '''Don’t Panic!'''		# The number one rule for your general exam: '''Don’t Panic!'''
	# '''The proposal''': Your proposal should be clearly delineated into two parts: 1) a literature review that provides background and sets the context for your proposed research (about 15-20 pages), and 2) a detailed research proposal of what you want to do for your thesis (about 10-15 pages). The latter should be based on the typical content of an NSF DDIG grant proposal.		# '''The proposal''': Your proposal should be clearly delineated into two parts: 1) a literature review that provides background and sets the context for your proposed research (about 15-20 pages), and 2) a detailed research proposal of what you want to do for your thesis (about 10-15 pages).

	:: Start writing your proposal as soon as possible, about six to eight weeks before your exam. A good source of feedback is your fellow grad students. Give a rough draft to your committee at least three weeks before your exam. Once you receive your committee’s feedback, turn in a final draft at least one week before your exam.		:: Start writing your proposal as soon as possible, about six to eight weeks before your exam.

	# '''Scheduling your exam''': Work with your committee members and their respective administrators to find a date they can all make. Do this well in advance, as the faculty have busy schedules and are often out of town. Also, make sure to remind the faculty so they do not double-book for your exam date! Make sure to reserve Eno 209 (through Amy Bordvik) or a room in Guyot (through Lolly O’Brien).		# '''Scheduling your exam''': Work with your committee members and their respective administrators to find a date they can all make.

-	~~Technically there~~ is no automatic department support for your fifth year. In order to cover this, you will either need to get an external fellowship (e.g. NSF), finding funding through your advisor, or teach two semesters. It is sometimes possible to teach one of these semesters before your fifth year and the second one during your fifth year. Even if you have an external fellowship, you may still be asked to teach again your fifth year, in which case you'll be paid in addition to your fellowship.	+	There is no automatic department support for your fifth year.
