Nerds Move On, Everyone Else Moves Home

The class of 2008 is the class of the momma’s boys (and girls). A startling new survey by Collegegrad.com found that 77 percent of this year’s college grads moved back home with their parents after graduation.
 

So who are the 23 percent who actually get to proudly bring hotties back to their pads late at night instead of having to sneak around ...

Graduation Gifts: Students Rate the Best
Apparently, it's a boob tube (corny, but it works). The Walmart of electronics, Circuit City, conducted a national survey of  2,400 college students for the best graduation gifts of 2008.

The largest percentage of respondents wanted electronics for graduation gifts. In second place, students craved a vacation (I, second that). Trailing in the
