Although it’s exciting to be back at school seeing our friends and getting back into all our respective grooves, there’s one thing that absolutely no one wants to deal with: awkward conversations.
You can smell one of these coming from miles away. You’re buying emergency I-forgot-I’d-run-out-of-toothpaste-before-break toothpaste at CVS when su...
Following in a nation-wide trend, the University of Chicago will now be offering co-ed dorm rooms, Associated Press reports. Currently, more than 30 campuses allow girls and boys to share dorm rooms together, including Stanford, Brown, UPenn, and Weslyan.
A letter was sent out last week letting parents know that the school would begin allowing...
Penn’s finals ended today, which means that now everybody is home with not much to do. Sure, you can shop a bit with your mom, and see all your high school friends, and drive around your town in your old car…but that all gets boring in about three hours.
So what can you do when you’re lounging around your house in ripped sweatpants and your ret...
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...
![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...
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...
In November 2007, Rafael Robb, a one-time economics professor at Penn, pleaded guilty to voluntarily bludgeoning his wife, Ellen, to death with a chin-up bar after the couple argued about their daughter’s vacation plans.
As the crime was considered an act of rage, not premeditated murder, Robb received a voluntary manslaughter charge that carr...
Jade Vixen, nee Edythe Maa, is an S&M dominatrix who describes her interests on PlayTime411.com as “sensual teasing and denial, rope bondage, sissy-slut training, dog training, tickle torture, and corporal punishments of a traditional nature.” The former UPenn Ph.D. candidate in engineering recently found herself mired in even more scandal than ...
Some call us slutty, irresponsible underage alcoholics – I just call us college students. In terms of the first of those flattering adjectives, I’ve come to embrace the fact that we’re all bound to make some stupid sexual decisions during our time at Penn. Better that we get it all out now than when we’re 45 years old with three kids and an attr...
You know how some families go around the table at Thanksgiving dinner and everyone is supposed to say what they’re thankful for? Though that’s a lovely tradition, it’s harder than it looks to think of something original to say – especially when you’re put on the spot just as you’re chewing a hunk of turkey smothered in cranberry sauce.
So, yes...
I will be the first to admit that I’m a complete sucker for Christmas – it’s such a wholesome, rosy-cheeked time of year that can infect even the most sarcastic blogger with its cheeriness. It’s all twinkly lights and hot chocolate and snow and wonderfulness. See, it’s already making me feel all warm and cozy inside.
That being said, Christmas...
In the span of one week, two University of Pennsylvania professors have landed on the pages of OTR for committing unspeakable crimes against their fellow man.
Earlier this week, it was former Marketing professor Scott Ward, who pleaded guilty to multiple child pornography-related charges. Today, it’s ex-Economics professor Rafael Robb, who was...
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.
Thaindian News reports:

Scott Ward, a former University of Pennsylvania professor of Marketing, is currently serving a 15-year sentence for producing and importing child pornography, but his prison stay is about to get longer – much, much longer.
Back in February 2007, Ward pleaded guilty to producing child pornography during several trips to Thailand and Brazil. Thi...
Thanks to the Daily Pennsylvanian for this amazing footage of the march!
Two men wearing Black Panthers attire were out and about today trying to influence voters. The men were spotted at a local polling place in Philadelphia where one was seen holding a night stick, according to Fox News.
The PoliGazette reports that citizens called the police and one of the Black Panthers was escorted from the scene (another was ...
The rich get richer, and the poor – well, you know.
For weeks, America has sat idly by watching the roller coaster known as the Stock Market rise and fall. We laughed. We cried. We made fun of greedy, overpaid investment bankers finally getting their just dues for questionable business practices.
However, it appears Wall Street will get the ...
Not since Elizabeth Taylor converted to Judaism for Mike Todd have newspapers been so abuzz with the word “shiksa,” but with reports that Ivanka Trump is converting for the Harvard-educated Observer owner Jared Kushner, “shiksa” is making a comeback.
The New York Post reports:
IVANKA Trump and Jared Kushner have selected an outspoken rabbi who...
A colleague of Glen Beck, Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hanity on the air, conservative talk radio host Michael Smerconish has now endorsed Barack Obama for president. He’s the latest in a flood of conservatives to jump on the Obama bandwagon, most noteably Colin Powell yesterday.
Sure a Michael Smerconish endorsement probably doesn’t carry the same ...
Today Jocelyn Kirsch, a Drexel University Student, was sentenced to five years in prison after pleading guilty three months ago to charges of conspiracy, access-device fraud, bank fraud, money laundering, and aggravated identity theft.
