Wow. I keep forgetting PhD students over there do actual coursework. research only over here. Apart from that little difference I can empathize somewhat with graduate programs becoming draining, particularly when the process becomes predominately political.
It varies not only from country to country, but even just department to department. Different fields have different expectations for what a PhD (and Master’s!) means.
