Before I started school, I was always thinking about how I won’t have a life and how I won’t be able to see my friends often.
Attending graduate school is already stressful enough, I am always trying to find things to do that would relieve my stress during the week. Even if it’s just an hour or two, any time that you have that is free should not be put to waste. Do you struggle to find a hangout spot that is within your budget? Are you looking to have fun with your classmates near campus? In order to enjoy school a little more, I found some budget friendly places to hang out at!
