Graduate school is supposed to be hard. But, it can also be humane and healthy, and a place where you can thrive. Staying mentally and physically healthy is not just important, it is the most important thing. Many people and resources at MIT are dedicated to supporting graduate students’ health and well-being. We invite you to explore new avenues for your own personal development, and:
Embrace the reality that effort, learning, and failure play their own role in the ultimate achievement of our goals
Find a healthy balance between work and life
Care for the your emotions and the emotions of others, and make mindful choices that align with your beliefs
Learn how to receive and share constructive criticism
