I am thinking about starting on my thesis. Besides securing a grad advisor, I wanted to do my thesis work at another University. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to go about doing this?
Since the thesis is self-directed, and I could theoretically be in touch with my advisor via email and visit here and there, I am looking for desk space, access to library/research and some support/advisement (more like a local advisor).
Should I secure a topic for the thesis and then contact a professor at the university that I am interested in? Just wondering if anyone has done this before?
