My impression is that there’s usually a modest amount of overlap. The university is trying to take steps to encourage further interactions. Last spring, for example, they tried to implement a pub night for everyone on campus over the age of 21. Response was very positive, especially from grad students and postdocs, but they ran afoul of the Township and Borough alcohol licensing board, and things are now up in the air. My guess is that this initiative will make a comeback.

Also, rumor has it that as plans are being made for the use of Campus Club, an eating club that went under last year, a major goal is for the building to be used by both grad students and undergrads. That ought to go a long way towards encouraging interaction.
