6. Will significant others, a spouse, or children impact my plans?

　　身边的重要人物、配偶或孩子会影响我的计划吗?

　　Your partner and/or children add a significant, and often complicated, dimension to your graduate study decisions. All are impacted by the experience. Adjustments will need to be discussed, anticipated, and managed. By including those closest to you, you will reap huge dividends when the inevitable rough spots emerge along the journey。

　　你配偶或孩子往往对你的研究生学习决定起着重要而又复杂的作用。各种决定都受到经验的影响，作出调整时需要进行一些讨论、预测和安排。在逾越旅程中无法避免的沟坎时，与身边的人，包括你最亲近的人商讨对策，你将获益非浅。

　　7. Should I consider a full-time or part-time program?

　　我应该全日制学习还是半工半读呢?

　　There are pros and cons to both, and you need to consider carefully what's best based on your situation and motivations. Going full time usually means finishing more quickly, but also likely means a change in employment status, income, and partner/family dynamics. As for the student experience, full-time students tend to develop stronger social networks, which translate into continued personal and professional relationships after graduation。

　　这两种学习方式各有利弊，你需要依据自己的实际情况和动机来作出最佳选择。一般情况下，全日制学习可以在更短时间内完成学业，但也意味着就业状况、收入和家庭稳定性的变化。就学生经验来说，全日制学生有机会建立更紧密的社交网络，有利于毕业之后的个人和专业发展。
