Grad school can be a tiring and isolating experience - sometimes you just need to escape. In 2003, the Graduate Students' Union and Student Life Programs created Grad Escapes, a program offering discounted tickets to social, cultural, and recreational events in Toronto for stressed-out grad students. From opera to baseball, from musical theatre to historic tours, there's something for everyone. So, forget your thesis for a night and escape!
