Grad work can be time consuming and overwhelming. Late nights at the library leave little time for dating, let alone a relationship. There are plenty of mobile apps that help students connect with potential partners. In this episode, we share our experiences using dating apps while in grad school. We also discuss racism and racial fetishization on dating apps.
