perspectives

we have 5 students who have joined the phd program this year. one is from south korea, one is from thailand, and 3 are from america. we have one guy and 4 girls in the program. one is married, one is engaged (to be married next summer) and 3 single folks in the group. there is not much deviation in the age group (i think). but i haven't asked. i think it would be interesting to record the journey and the progress of each of these individuals and their perspectives on grad school and life in north carolina.
