While drinking is undeniably the #1 college pastime, there are still plenty of other things college students do to avoid studying, reading or writing.
Today, we took a look at a longtime favorite of mine: the flash mob.
For the uninitiated, a flash mob is a group of people who gather at a specific location at a predetermined time and perform...
Last Thanksgiving, four Sigma Pi pledges landed in the Cayuga Medical Center with severe alcohol poisoning.
Some called it a testament to the success of Sigma Pi’s rush party; others, namely the associate dean of the University, called it an “egregious” incident that warranted heavy scrutiny.
Of course, by “scrutiny,” he meant total disbarme...
![Comforting Words From An I-Banker: "Say Goodbye to [Your] Wall Street Dreams."](http://www.collegeotr.com/images/blogs/dc31de7f85fe6920888868eb8df2f4b0.jpg)
According to IvyGate, graduating seniors with aspirations of making it on Wall Street should re-evaluate their short-term career goals–as soon as possible.
Speaking to an unidentified Ivy-Leaguer-turned-investment-banker, Dan Haley confirmed that, due to the current economic climate, internships at financial firms have become the unicorn of th...
There is something about Ivy, the Ithaca College-produced reality series starring the-undeniably-best-Ivy-ever Cornell, that our readers simply cannot get enough of—ever.
As soon as a new episode hits the Internet, we’re immediately inundated with emails enthusiastically praising our coverage of past installments and suggesting that we scoop u...
Last week, the Nixon Library released over 198 hours of President Richard Nixon ranting and raving about--more or less--everything.
From the press to the Ivy League, Old Dick Nixon hated it all, and he wasn’t afraid to let everyone within an earshot know it—whether they cared to listen or not.
Thankfully, the mad ramblings of this presidenti...
Oh, joyous day! Christmas—or whatever religious holiday you observe—has come three weeks early this year.
But, the best part is we all received the gift we didn’t know we wanted, but totally did: the second installment of Ivy, the Ithaca College-produced reality series starring the-undeniably-best-Ivy-ever Cornell.
While I incorrectly assume...
Sex offenders have apparently given up the tried-and-true methods of luring in unsuspecting prey—that is, driving up to schools with vans marked “Free Candy”—in favor of more aggressive ones, such as living in our college libraries.
According to the Cornell Daily Sun, a 21-year-old, non-student sex offender was arrested in the University of Il...
Ivy, the Ithaca College-produced reality series starring the-undeniably-best-Ivy-ever Cornell, is—for the lack of a better word—awesome.
There’s drama. There’s betrayal. There are arrogant, prissy snobs who yearn for valet service.
In short, it’s a point-for-point recreation of life at Cornell.
Well, not the real Cornell, mind you. No, thi...
Last October, Stephen Colbert arrived on Cornell University’s campus to the sight of thousands of ecstatic students and Ithaca residents eagerly anticipating his arrival.
In the span of 15 minutes, tickets to Colbert’s hotly anticipated performance sold out, and a second one was scheduled for the same weekend. In total, 10,000 Cornellians came...
For cross-state drivers, Global Positioning Systems (GPS) are a godsend. If you ever find yourself lost while navigating your way to Nowheresville USA (Ithaca), you can simply activate your car’s GPS and allow a robotic-sounding, typically female voice guide your progression.
Still, GPS-enabled cars and cell phones are a known quantity. So, Br...
Collegetown is where all Cornell undergraduates go to experience Ithaca's thrilling nightlife.
Don’t laugh; Ithaca may be in the middle of nowhere, but the city itself benefits greatly from having several institutions of higher learning within a close proximity.
However, no one sees more action on any given Thursday night than the bartenders...
After John McCain’s bitter defeat last week, the Republican Party split into two. While some members of the GOP willingly conceded the night to the Democrats acknowledging that the better man won, others have continued kicking and screaming into the cold, dark night.
Case and point: Paul Ibrahim, a Cornell alumnus, is a member of the North Sta...
For many college students, AOL Instant Messenger, GChat, Facebook Chat and cell phone text messaging are the ideal means of communication. They’re fast, simple and unobtrusive in our everyday lives.
Still, for a long time, they have been considered much more… ineffective means of conveying complex ideas, thoughts and emotions. After all, there...
Last night’s episode of NBC’s hit television series The Office focused on three distinct storylines: Pam meeting Jim’s brothers, Michael and Holly breaking up, and Dwight Schrute sporting Cornell apparel in order to upset Andy, the man currently engaged to his lost love, Angela.
Of the three, the latter narrative brought viewers and Ivy League...
Liana Mancini, Cornell’s resident sex expert, is back with yet another op-ed aimed at enriching our minds with a healthy dose of sex education and titillating our senses with borderline pornographic tales about her sexual misadventures.
In this week’s edition of “The Shocker,” Mancini attempts to reconcile the seemingly opposing doctrines of n...
Ah, Craigslist – home to the dregs, sexual deviants and aspiring con artists of society.
From “secondhand” (READ: stolen) goods to borderline prostitution, you can find anything and everything on Craigslist. All it takes is a simple keyword search.
In this instance, all it took was typing in “Cornell” into the Ithaca section of the C-list pe...
Before viewing the rankings, let’s put things into perspective. Many Europeans have a chip on their shoulder when it comes to their education system, and they get offended when someone from the United States claims to have a larger one on theirs.
Case and point: On October 1st, an OTR editor declared that Harvard, Columbia and the University o...
Yesterday, an unidentified man leapt headfirst into the Cascadilla Gorge from the College Avenue Bridge near Cornell University. Since then, the jumper has been identified by the authorities, but his name is being withheld until his family has been notified of his death.
Still, early reports suggest that the man was most likely a resident of I...

Unbeknownst to the world, the Global Language Monitor recently released their own rankings of the nation’s top colleges and universities based on the number of appearances they made in print and electronic media, and Harvard, Columbia and the University of Michigan took the three top spots.
