"As for you, don't worry; if you are willing to go to China with me, I welcome you. After all, you have also studied with me for several months."

"If you want to stay at Princeton, you can choose either Professor Deligne or Professor Witten, and they will accept it. I have already told them about this, and they are willing to accept you."

"Of course, if you have other ideas in your mind and want to follow other mentors, you can tell me and I will help you find them."

"It's early August now, and it's the fall semester at Princeton. I think it won't delay you too much."

"After all, you are studying with me and you are learning some basic knowledge. You have not participated in any scientific research and experimental projects. It has not been finalized. I think many tutors will be willing to accept you."

Hearing this, Gu Bing, Shaxi, Roger, and Amelia looked at each other, not knowing how to make a decision.

They never imagined that their supervisor would resign and run away during their Ph.D. studies.

Moreover, the solutions proposed by Xu Chuan are also difficult for people to choose.

Going to China with Xu Chuan is a very good choice. After all, their mentor is now a Fields Medal winner and one who breaks records.

And transferring to another school with a tutor is what most people in the academic world consider to be the "best choice."

The culture of academia sets the expectation that graduate students should be willing and happy to do whatever their advisor expects.

This idea comes from many aspects.

For example, your supervisor has invested in you and is willing to continue to invest in you; or you have established a good communication and guidance method with your supervisor, and it will be easier to stay with them for future study and research; or you should be willing

Make any sacrifices to advance your career, be grateful to your mentors for their devotion to you, etc.

But this choice also has some drawbacks.

For example, moving to a new school will bring greater life pressure and financial costs to students. Such as the readjustment of partners, social and cultural changes, changes in living costs, and changes in tuition fees.

Especially now, their mentor is returning to China from the United States. The customs and habits of the two countries are completely different.

In addition, the second option given by Xu Chuan is to stay at Princeton to continue studying, which is also a good choice.

As Xu Chuan said, it is now the fall semester of Princeton. Originally, they would not enroll until this time, but it was only because of Xu Chuan's request that they came to study in advance.

Secondly, Deligne and Witten are both Fields Medal winners, and Deligne in particular is also Xu Chuan’s mentor. He studies with the same professors, so he doesn’t have to worry about future learning problems at all.

As for Witten, the four of them also knew that this was what Xu Chuan left for Amelia. After all, she had studied physics before.

On the other hand, the other four professors at Princeton have basically not considered it.

Is there anyone at Princeton who is more awesome than Deligne or Witten?

I'm afraid not.

Even Fefferman is at most equal to the two of them.

The four of them were very confused and didn't know what to choose.
