    LaBrunaFurba got a reaction from orst11 in Sh*t people say when you are applying to grad school   
    I got tired of people acting so aghast that my partner was willing to make the move with me. "Are you sure he wants to do that? What about his job? Does he want you to go so far?"

    As though we hadn't discussed these things prior to applying.
