GradShare is an online community of grad students from around the U.S. and
Canada, coming together to discuss the challenges of graduate life.   You can
use GradShare to browse the current discussions, read expert advice from
academic professionals, or ask a challenging question of your own.

Every time you participate, you'll be entered into the monthly raffle for
a Flip video camera.  You'll also be helping increase the knowledge base for
your fellow grad students.
