The GradCafe

I’ll Take A Side Of Coffee With My Stress, Please!

In a world where a graduate student’s biggest drug problem consists of practically mainlining caffeine, it comes as no surprise that a popular college graduate information website is aptly dubbed www.thegradcafe.com. This website acts as a graduate student hub, trading questions and answers between students from a variety of schools across the nation. It is a venting website for users to vent about classes, assignments, and the usual struggles of being a graduate student.

In different sectors of the website, feel free to peruse areas such as:

· City Guide: ask the Café goers about a town or campus.

· IHOG: International House of Grads; a place for international students to come together. (Sorry, no pancakes.)

· The Lobby: What can we get you? Chit-chat here!

· Applying to graduate school: a forum for information to make the struggles easier.

The site also offers meet and greets between past grad students and incoming students in an effort to help them along their way. Within these meet and greets, offered are job descriptions, a sort of job craigslist and internships.

Feel free to peruse and make sure to suggest it to your fellow graduate school-goers!
