Graduate Student Life
Graduate students and undergraduate students share many of the same concerns about access to quality education, career development resources and entertainment and extracurricular opportunities. At the graduate level, however, students often have a greater need for certain kinds of resources to help them in research and professional development. Graduate students may require more time and funds to pursue research projects and travel to research and professional conferences.
