Where can I find a "nurturing" engineering graduate school?

@Cheeringsection‌ Maybe… =)

@jack63 So where did you get that sense of “ownership” of your education? Where did you get an idea of “your own agenda”? My situation is that these senses of purpose themselves were critically inspired by school nurturing combined with personal diligence. My UCLA experience lacked nurture (partly my fault: bad choice in school, bad choice in major) - and essentially made me feel like I am denied life’s joy and left in the dust.
