Thank you for reminding me why I stopped at masters, haha...
I once saw someone describe graduate school as a "youth amputation", and I think about that a lot.

Five years ten months awe yea.
6y5m here - The game does a good job of explaining how much of the timeline is up to random chance.
I also think it'd be realistic (but not "fun") if each playthrough, you had a chance of being assigned nice or mean advisor who would increase or decrease your hope by 1 every turn for the duration of the game.
Haha, I don't want to relive that. 😂 Gotta keep the hope for the prospectives, so the good people try and hopefully change the system.
Where I did it it’s basically impossible to do it that long because you are part of 4 years project and anything after that is on your dime ;). So everyone wants you to graduate
I got 5y10m after 3 tries... not a good sign
Sounds realistic. ;)
