[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Grad school is a time when you don't really get to experience the vibrancy of a place that much--especially if you're working a GRA or other job while going. I did my PhD in Boston and I felt like I was always missing out on so many cool city things because I had so much work to do. But in retrospect, I guess it kind of seeped in nonetheless--I was sad to leave. So you'll probably only have time for so much city life so any reasonably active place will likely be more than enough. Your grad school social network will tend to be similarly transient if you go to top schools (rather than the local school) so despite living in a new city, you often don't develop 'roots' in the same way.[/quote] I did a Ph.D. at the University of Chicago and definitely logged a lot of library hours, but still had time to go to restaurants, bars, cultural events, etc.[/quote]
