<p>We do have fun, but it’s a different type of fun. In grad school, we are focused intensely on becoming professionals, so we’re less prone to doing the things polarscribe mentioned. I’m with a group of friends that goes out for beer on Wednesdays, but we just talk, joke around, and let loose in general. Two of the guys in our group are married, so their wives keep them in line.</p>
<p>While it’s generally true what pumiliod said about Americans not hanging out with foreigners, what he said could be misconstrued. The vast majority of Americans are more than accepting of foreigners, but many times, cultural differences put up barriers. This leads to many international students hanging out with other international students of similar countries to where they’re from. It’s nothing personal.</p>
