graduation ceremony....where you get to wear a fancy superhero cape

Not all heros wear capes...

Ah never went to any of mine, went to my brothers though. Too much for me.

I assume in the USA the supervisor of the student attends the graduation? Maybe that's in the UK too and I'm just clueless

sometimes yes. usually one person hoods all but often will step back so that the mentor can actually hood their student

Interesting. It sounds like my idea of hell.

Some people might not enjoy spending time with their phd advisor and their family. Not everybody is lucky.
