I just moved to Chicago a couple of months ago and I have to say that I really like the city. I am currently a graduate student working on my doctorate in genetics. I know that my field is not for everybody, but I am passionate about my work. That said, I really don’t consider myself a typical grad student because I still manage to maintain a life outside of my lab. Grad school keeps me pretty busy during the week, but I still find time for the things that I enjoy like working out, running, etc… Although I work a lot during the week, I tend to use the weekends to explore the city, to go out, and to party with my roommates and friends.
