Undergrad = grad school? no
Daniel pimentel: graduate student communications
diversityLarger % of enrolled grad students are international at the graduate level than at the undergraduate level.
Time & obligationsLarger % of grad students have a full-time job in addition to grad school. Also, larger % have children, generally leaving little free-time compared to undergrads.
Generational gapsThe age range for students at the grad level is wider than at the undergrad level, often between mid 20's & late 40's.
