Totally radical
I was never a math major, but if my calculations are correct,
18-year-olds starting their freshman year at college this fall were born in or around 1994. Which means you whippersnappers might not fully appreciate the super-cool concept for the cover of this Student Survival Guide, because you weren't alive for any of the 1980's. Which means I feel sad for you. So for your first college assignment, I task you with (legally) downloading music by Duran Duran, The Go-Gos, Culture Club, Erasure, and their contemporaries. You will thank me later.

More than a meal: Stretch your dollar by grabbing food and entertainment off-campus
I remember my first week at college, when the dining hall
seemed like some heavenly, endless supply of food I could just pick up and eat
at any time. That feeling didn't last.
