Where To Study If Bobst Makes You Feel Suicidal
My mind is blown by the number of people who spend hours a day in Bobst. There are always lines for computers and hardly any comfy chairs in that miserable hellhole, making it a less-than-fun place to catch up on homework Their first mistake download. Blessedly, there are plenty of places near campus to get your study on– and no I don’t mean the cluster fuck that is the Starbucks on West 4th. Continue…

Colleges Remodel Campus Tours; NYU Tours Still Annoying
What I remember most from my tour around NYU are the off-putting statistics about the number of applicants and my dad nudging me with his elbow saying, “This would be great– if you could get in!”

Odd NYU Classes To Suck Up Those Extra Credits
Still looking to drop that 8 am Monday class? Do what I did and see if you can get into an odd artsy class that will piss off your parents but beat the hell out of dragging your ass to Silver pre-noon twice a week.
I’m taking Glass I. Yup, I get three credits for blowing glass all semester. It meets out in Brooklyn and the start time is eleven Final season the download. Did I mention that there is no homework? It’s a slacker’s dream.
My mother thinks it’s a waste of tuition dollars and my dad thinks it’s the coolest thing he’s ever heard of. I’ll let you know what I think in December when I have one less final exam than any of my friends. After the jump: a list of similar (read: probably super awesome) classes that NYU has to offer.
If you know of any more, post them in the comments. And if anyone has taken the class Cell Phone Cinema, please tell me what the hell it is! Continue…

Getting An Internship If You’re In Gallatin
Great buck howard the download.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/internship.jpg” alt=”internship” width=”267″ height=”178″ />*We’ll be doing a Summer Internship Hunt post for a handful of NYU schools over the next couple of weeks. Our first is Gallatin.
If you’re in-town for the summer and happen to be of the individualized type, I’m sure you’re trying to secure an internship for the May-August slot that will make putting up with the hot, sticky, city air worth it.
The good news? Lots of flexibility. The bad? Less help finding internships to apply to. Continue…

Finding the Raunchier Side of Shel Silverstein
The play contains a gamut of comedic topics that the adults in the show face in ten short sketches. One act features a character named Bender and his cronies who search out a man who coined the term “Have a nice day” in order to make him pay. Another of the sketches called “Buy One, Get One Free” shows two prostitutes offering up the bargain of a lifetime. Other plotlines surround a dead pony, a woman auctioning herself off and a “Who Would You Save If–” game.

Ultra Violet Live Enters Uncharted Territory
Employee of the month download.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/uvl.jpg” alt=”uvl” width=”266″ height=”198″ />Last night’s Ultra Violet Live, IRHC’s talent show, was, in short, weird, stupid, but definitely enjoyable. The event, held in Skirball, offered refreshments, outer space decorations, and two and a half hours of unusual entertainment.
Downstairs, event organizers handed out purple glow sticks and the audience made their way in to the auditorium. The stage was set up with creepy alien music, fog, and purple lights. The show opened with a request from the announcer to “Fasten your seatbelts” and get ready for “liftoff.”
Then the programming board emerged decked out in shiny silver leggings and neon shirts to Carmina Burana. The music changed and they started to rave, swinging their glow sticks all over the place. It was bound to be a strange show. Continue…

Stop Changing Your Agenda, TBNYU
The chimes at midnight download.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/img_0162-530×3971.jpg” alt=”img_0162-530×3971″ width=”279″ height=”208″ />The first time I encountered a TBNYU protest I was at Kimmel attempting to eat my lunch¬– and believe me, coming in-between me and my food does not put you in my good book. Now they’re back at Kimmel while I’m not there and I’m even more annoyed.
As far as I remember, their first three demands were along the following lines: budget disclosure, transparency of finances, specifically of the endowment and investing, and then the very unrealistic demand for a student presence on the board of trustees.
And now Gaza is being added to the list? Continue…
