I graduated from undergrad in May and plan on attending grad school very soon, hopefully the fall if I get accepted but if not then the spring. I just wondered, are friendships in grad school more rewarding or better than those in undergrad or about the same? I know there is more involved in grad schools and some may even have families but I plan on living in graduate housing so I assume that other grad students who live on campus, probably do not have families of their own. Just wondered how it worked. I know it is different from undergrad but I hear you can still make friends in grad school.

It is all the same. The people may be more educated, the the process of making friends will be the same.

Have you seen/been to the graduate housing; could be married couples there too, the big universities sometimes have that?
I did grad school online and found it was a little less informal with people a bit more serious and having more going on in their lives so less able to "hang out" or socialize, were more invested in careers, etc. It can be a bit more competitive feeling or the opposite, a bit vague feeling with everyone doing their own thing. With undergrad you had people coming from all places but studying all sorts of things whereas grad is more people coming from all places but more focused, no "general" studies classes where you might be in liberal arts but meet someone in science or business? There subtle differences, it's a more "grown up" sort of experience (like work :-) not as "school" feeling.
