think it - a hundred times:
You're at a crossroads in your
life. Childhood has ended;
adulthood is setting in. College
is where you'll find yourself,
where you'll meet the
best friends you'll ever make,
where you'll have the best
time of your life - and then,
when it's over, you'll venture
into "the great abyss.

The students alleged to university officials that they were forced by paramedics from Newark's University Hospital, which is operated by the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (UMDNJ), to dress in white sheets to echo the attire worn by KKK members, said Jim Chiavelli, interim director of communications.

I studied at Goldsmiths during the spring semester, and was charged the typical study abroad fee for all programs.

Students here at St. John's have been complaining about the lack of campus life for the past few years. Residents say that the campus dies each weekend, forcing them to go elsewhere to have some fun on days off.
Sure, it gets quiet here on weekends, and perhaps more could be done by the University to foster life here on campus.

The Boston College community has seen its list of high profile guests make a stop on campus, but none possessed a presence as persistent and simultaneously down-to-earth as legendary newsman and NBC News Washington bureau chief Tim Russert.
His passing comes only a few weeks after his last visit to campus, when his son Luke, BC '08, graduated.
Vice President and Special Assistant to the President Rev. William Neenan, S.J., recalled a conversation he had with Russert during a reception at the Jesuit's Roberts House on campus that same day.
"He assured us that even though Luke was graduating, he would stay continuously involved in the life of BC," Neenan said.
