Christmas is over, and now, all that stands between us and the year 2009 is New Year’s Eve.
While those conjoined at the hip to their significant others are all set, the rest of us are left scrambling to find someone, somewhere to kiss when the ball drops.
Nobody wants to be the loveless loser in the corner who arrives at the New Year’s Eve ...
Today is the anniversary of a great day in history: 75 years ago, on this day in 1933, the 21st amendment was passed. For those lacking in their Constitution knowledge, that little legal language ended the Prohibition and thus put a stop to a nationwide ban on booze.
You know what that means… bring on the binge drinking!
To celebrate the fr...
There are several great things you can learn about from your friends: hot new bands, hot new freshmen, almost anything really. Perhaps, however, colleges ought not have been so keen on acting like lemmings and treating Yale like the cool, pretty cheerleader in high school, because now they’re suffering. Back in the day, Yale was all over the alt...
Batman, lovingly known to Cheetos-devouring denizens of comic book forums as The Dark Knight, cannot die.
He simply cannot. Bruce Wayne is a mere mortal, but Batman is a herculean icon, capable of accomplishing superhuman feats with the flick of a pinky.
Apparently, DC Comics missed this memo, however, because they’ve deemed it fit to kill o...
Insomnia cookies is not a euphemism for Adderall, Ritalin, or any other ADD prescription drugs abused by college students circa finals and midterms; it’s a business that delivers desserts to four college campuses late night. Located near NYU, the term Insomnia Cookies was originally coined by a bunch of UPenn kiddies.

I had heard good things about Plan B -- a New York City club on the Lower East Side -- and was excited to check it out. My first disappointment was as soon as I stepped through the door. In contrast to the flashy pictures on the website, the interior looks like a hole in the wall bar (see above). I pity people who have their birthday parties the...
NYU students watch out… just when you thought it was safe to enjoy the trendy spots in the city, Sex and the City is back to ruin it. People magazine is reporting that Kim Cattrall has confirmed that there will be a sequel to the popular movie:
The actress appeared on Britain's The Paul O'Grady Show, with guest-host Spice Girl Melanie Brown.

If you haven’t voted already, run – don’t walk – to your nearest voting center.
It doesn’t matter if you “rock the vote” for John McCain, Barack Obama or Ralph Nader; just vote so you don’t end up disenfranchised like this distraught, mildly delusional New York City college student:
[Redacted]: “don't let shackles hurt you when this country ...
Tomorrow on election day, you can vote to get your rocks off— literally. The sex shop Babeland is doing its part to support the democratic process, incentivizing voting by offering free sex toys to voters.
MSNBC reports:
Just when you thought it was safe to focus on the issues in this historic election season, a chain of sex toy shops has joi...
There’s lots of ways to celebrate Halloween: getting dressed up, getting undressed, dunking for candied apples, etc., etc. But at the end of the day, what do you have to show for it? A lousy toothache? A slapped ass? You can do better than that!
Why not commit fully to a greater endeavor, a venture of glory and honor and Michael Jackson? Curre...
It’s hard to find Mr. Right, particularly in New York City, where single women far outnumber single men. NYU students would agree, I’m sure. But Amy Borkowsky, a single fortysomething New Yorker, is taking matters into her own hands.
The comedian and former advertising copy writer is trying to raise money to buy a Super Bowl commercial in whi...
Wondering what it's like at CMJ? Well there's lots of music, lots of screaming, and yes, lots of college students, mostly NYUers and New Schoolers. These two guys got their fifteen seconds of CMJ fame by crowd surfing (0:13, 0:32) to the stage and then throwing themselves back into the sea of crazy college kids at the Crystal Castles show.
Looks like Bianca Jagger just might be a poor little rich girl, or woman, after all. Today a court upheld Bianca Jagger’s eviction from her Manhattan apartment based on her status as a non-citizen. Her landlord claims that Jagger owes rent, despite Jagger’s wealth.
The International Herald Tribune reports:
New York's top court upheld Bianca Ja...
Today Alan Greenspan appeared at a House committee hearing to address the current economic crisis, where the NYU and Columbia alum stated that there is a fundamental flaw in the free market system, much to the chagrin of conservative deregulators who have sailed along with lofty catch phrases like “laissez faire.” Yes, the four term former Fed c...
Walter Meego isn’t simply a dorky man's name. Walter Meego is a musical duo comprised of Justin Sconza and Colin Yarck with more electro-pathic, space-age, 80’s-cum-future, Lite Brite-like, dance-rocking synth-pop up their sleeves than can easily be contained in a given music venue. A few years ago, the two were a couple of University of Illinoi...
If you're wondering what The Bronx show was like at CMJ, the photo above is the best approximation available. As The Bronx screamed, spit, riffed, sweat, and beat the crap out of their drums, the crowd screamed, spit, sweat, and beat the crap out of each other. Or at least they got rowdy and shoved each other around.
For everyone who says hard...
The Ettes are Coco, Pony, and Jem. The Ettes are tenacious vox bouncing over garage-y guitar and rolling drum beats. The Ettes are a little bit of sex and sugar and rebel Americana. Singer Coco gave CollegeOTR her take on music school stimuli, politics, and that busty-but-not-busted 62-year-old Dolly Parton. The Ettes play their CMJ show at Arle...
The Bronx isn’t a band like many others. They didn’t toil through hundreds of local open mics before attracting attention; they were signed to Island Def Jam after only twelve performances. They’re a hardcore band from LA, but guitarist Joby J. Ford entered KU on a baseball scholarship. Their demo was entitled Sure Death, but they plan to releas...
As many of you may or may not know (I don't know you), James Franco is currently an NYU Graduate Student this semester. Personally, I've heard rumors that he can be spotted in the Tisch building on floors 7 and 10...
What I'm really curious about is whether or not he is pulling a Mary-Kate and Ashley. Is he actually going to class, or does he ...
You could call the CMJ Music Marathon a New York music journalist’s wet dream. A music festival almost encyclopedic in scope held by the College Music Journal (CMJ), it saturates five days and about 75 venues with some of the best indie, folk, thrash, noise rock, art rock, hip-hop, synth-pop, and the rest of the gamut in between.
Now CollegeOT...
