What metaphors do postgraduates (PhD, Masters) use to describe their experiences?

Update: 2018-03-14

Description

Postgraduates across Australia (from over 25 different universities) were asked to describe their student experience in a metaphor. Hear about jungle walkers, bubbles, jugglers and blooming onions. Garrison and Anderson's Community of Inquiry Theory was used to understand these metaphors. Recommendations are made to universities - how to improve the postgraduate student experience (including in the area of employability and career supports).
