question inadvertently raised by notorious sour grape twitterer: which is a bigger day for a PhD student?
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.

-
That is a pretty mild hell.

Some people might not enjoy spending time with their phd advisor and their family. Not everybody is lucky.
-
So yeah, maybe mild in your experience but I changed counties over it.

-
Fair enough.
