Learn from your peers and near-peers
Many students find that the most helpful advice they receive is from other students who have been to their site before. Seek out those students from the beginning of the process, and you’ll be amazed at their insight - everything from choosing an advisor, defining research objectives and defining what is feasible in your protocol, to searching for housing and finding the best place to eat lunch in the market. Those who travel in teams often find that daily conversations and the opportunity to bounce ideas off one another help immensely. We can’t send a student with you, but we can help you connect here at Yale and virtually while you’re in the field.
These features are in development and coming soon!
- Connect to others currently working in your region
- Connect to those who have worked there before
- Read and post with other students about challenges you've faced
