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.
...perhaps people aren't used to a marriage with good communication and mutual support?

LaBrunaFurba reacted to MakeYourself in Grad school for dummies!
This post is a good example of some of the pretentiousness that you will encounter in graduate school. Learning to ignore these people will help you tons.
