A government-run camp proves much more hospitable to the Joads, and the family soon finds many friends and a bit of work. However, one day, while working at a pipe-laying job, Tom learns that the police are planning to stage a riot in the camp, which will allow them to shut down the facilities.
Graduate vs Undergraduate. Graduate or âgrad studentâ is one who has obtained a bachelors degree and is now pursuing a masterâs degree. An undergraduate, who is also known as âunder gradâ , is one who is only pursuing a bachelorâs degree. The graduate is in a much higher position than the undergraduate.
While certain aspects of undergraduate and graduate study are similar, some of the preconceptions of university life based on the undergraduate experience have to be dispelled. These can be grouped into a few general categories: 1  Age and experience. 2  Greater autonomy and less structure. 3  Campus life (or lack thereof). As a grad student, your time on campus will be different. While grad students use some of the same facilities as undergraduates, their campus experience is very distinct.
