Look past the professor's publications and ask his current students, over tea, if he keeps his promises. A supervisor's working style is revealed not in the brochure but in the small daily courtesies—or lack of them. I left my PhD because my guide’s 'flexible hours' meant his absence when my results needed discussion, and his sudden demands during my father’s illness. Choose one whose humanity is as consistent as his academic calendar.
