How is Grad School Different from Undergrad?: Involvement!

Grad school and Undergrad definitely have their differences, one of them being the ways in which you are involved within the school community. While you might hold a more professional relationship with your school and interact closely with your department, you may find that you're not as involved with school activities and you may notice that the way you interact with your school environment changes!
