As a fist year PhD student in Landscape Architecture program, my experience about family life student life conflict is quite new. Nevertheless, I am married with a man, who is doing PhD, for four years, and was working full-time in DC area for two years, before I started to the program. I am also from Turkey, and currently a graduate assistant in the same program.
