Some people in grad school are married or at least have a steady significant other, maybe they want to know what significant other is coming to say, a party or something? I really can’t make much sense of it.

“Questioning community” - The biggest question I have is whether Northwestern University is still a real university.

The only purpose here is to set up a quota system.
