Why Every Grad School Applicant Needs a Community

A community refers to a group of individuals or maybe even organizations that live together or collaborate to achieve a common goal. Communities are essential to human survival since we are social animals. You will always need inspiration, love, and support, and being a part of a community will provide you with all of these and more. You will agree that one of the most impactful decisions to make is to decide to pursue your graduate studies. It poses a greater challenge if you are looking to study in a country that is far away from your home. On this life-changing journey, there are a lot of things that can go right or wrong depending on how much access you have to the key elements of information, mentorship, student resources, and so on. Moving on, we will be exploring the importance of a community and why you need one in this phase of your life. 

1. Access to Opportunities: This tops the list. Many people miss out on updates that would save them millions of money or land them their dream job because they didn't see the information at all or because they saw them late. As a prospective student, you cannot afford to miss out on any important school updates. It could be about an application fee waiver, full scholarship information, or more. You need a community to be able to access such opportunities. 
2. Support: As you embark on your grad school journey, you can't know it all and so you will always have questions to ask, regarding your Statement of Purpose, your test requirements, and others. Support is one word that you cannot remove from the whole experience. You need to be part of a vibrant community that provides guidance, one that will be ready to answer your questions whenever they come and will also be willing to go the extra mile for you.
3. Mentorship: This might not look as important but it is also very important. In mentorship, the person who is mentoring you is more advanced in age or experience than you, and such a person must have gone through the particular phase they are helping you to get by. A mentor will help you to achieve progress in your academic pursuit, and one of the places you can get a mentor is from a community of like-minded individuals like UnykEd. 
4. Networking and Connection: In a community, you have the opportunity to interact with different people and build a relationship that might even expand beyond that community. Connecting with prospective students like yourself will help you to better understand some things and will get first-hand information too. You will be receiving help from someone who is currently going through what you are also going through. This can be comforting. Both parties will benefit from one another and so it's a win-win situation. 

It is even more beneficial if you find yourself in an international community that houses prospective students from different parts of the world. You will be able to develop yourself through interpersonal relationships with a diverse student community. Our student community at UnykEd is made up of students, graduates, and prospective students from different countries. Different information such as scholarship updates are shared from time to time, and our students receive maximum support for their graduate school journey. Nobody is left to do the work on their own. One thing that also stands out at UnykEd is the availability of different features on our platform. We have a feed page, which is where the general interaction takes place. In our groups, you have the privilege to join or create any group(s) you're interested in joining. There are groups for different programs and interests such as Visa application tips and more.
