Every campus is unique, but some have very specific tastes when it comes to drinking. If you hang out with the party crowd from any of these campuses, you will be drinking the "campus drink" at some point in the evening.

Remember Dick Tracy, the snazzy yellow trench coat-wearing detective with the walkie-talkie wristwatch? No? Well, Van Der Led, a European electronics manufacturer, apparently does since their new WM2 device looks like a modernized version of Tracy’s signature watch.

Upon entering college, there is a lot of pressure to know exactly what you want to study. I know I felt that way and therefore picked something that seemed interesting to me at the time. Needless to say, I have since changed my major and while I am content with my decision at this time, I am now in the process of figuring out what I want to do w

By far, the best drinking game you've never heard of, and my personal favorite. I've heard rumors that it was started at Michigan, and I have a friend who swears it began at NYU, but either way, you should be playing this game.
