TRANSPORTATION & HOUSING LISTENING SESSION

Rising rent, utilities competing with groceries, transportation costs stacking on top of already tight stipends…

How are housing and transportation shaping your graduate experience right now? What trade-offs are you having to make that aren't often talked about?

What feels unclear, frustrating, or unsustainable? PGSG is hosting a listening session on housing and transportation to hear directly from graduate students.
If these questions feel close to home, we invite you to be part of the conversation. Details below.

Venue: Purdue Graduate Student Center
Time: January 29, 6-8 PM
