Are you feeling alone? Are you far from family? Is your spouse working long hours or in school? We learned a lot by going to a graduate school away from family and away from where we both grew up. It was hard, but worth it. And we learned a lot along the way. In this episode, we're sharing our best tips and the things we wished we would have done differently during our 3 years away from family.
