It’s April, which means that there is only about a month and a half left of school. While Spring Fever is starting to hit and exam anxiety is starting to creep, there’s still the all-important course […]

We’ve all been there…going to your college town restaurant with 15 of your closest friends to celebrate a roommate’s birthday. The pomp and circumstance of the evening fills you with a kind of […]

“Can I buy you a drink?”
“Uh…no thanks…I’m fine for now.”
“Oh come on, just one drink?”
“Um, I’m not trying to blow you off. I don’t drink.”
“So…let me get this straight. You’ve never had a drink? […]

All-nighters are comically messy affairs. In the moment they can be adrenalin-producing and high anxiety inducing, but in retrospect they form some of your fondest college memories. The number of bonding […]

Coffee. The word is pretty much synonymous with college. Walking across the green to class, it’s virtually impossible to see anyone without a travel mug. Lining up at Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts is totally worth it […]

This is it. You’re in your senior spring semester or perhaps a post-grad who was duking it out in the real world. You took the GREs, laid the groundwork with a potential advisor, visited a couple of schools, […]

Eating out is pretty much a staple of the college experience. The plethora of options at the dining hall can only sustain you for so long until everything starts to taste like the same processed crap. But […]

Rhode Island Red Apple Crumble
Autumn is upon us, and with it comes all of these wonderful cinnamon-y desserts that will keep you cozy and content as you work into the rapidly increasing evening hours.

Autumn […]

After a full night of working on my Lauren Slater paper for my Lying, Cheating, and Stealing seminar, I stumbled into my dorm room at about 1 pm, ready for an epic afternoon nap. Not even bothering to change […]

At this point in the semester, in a post-midterms world, you’re probably wondering what the hell happened to severely impair your comprehension of whatever course you’re taking. Yeah, it’s true that you […]

The Oscars are set to air tonight and close out what has been a phenomenal fall and winter movie season. From blockbusters like Skyfall, The Hobbit:  An Unexpected Journey, and Les Miserables to the phenomenal […]

Well folks, we’ve made it to mid-Winter. It was a bit touch and go up in the Northeast where I’m situated, especially after Nemo and Plato (whoever devised the names for winter storms is clearly a boss). […]

In my sophomore year of college, there were two songs that had to be played at every single party otherwise a riot would break out: (1) Flo Rida’s Low and (2) Kanye West’s Stronger. Both of these songs were […]

It doesn’t matter if you’re single or in a relationship, Valentine’s Day has come to create a certain acute anxiety for every individual over the age of 14. In fact, it’s become something of a fashion to exhibit […]

I never set much store by the supposed meteorological “expertise” of Punxsutawney Phil (yes, I had to google the correct spelling), and if this past weekend was any indication, it looks as though winter is here […]

As much as we, at the Campus Companion, and your Dean of College hates to admit it, certain majors attract certain types of people. Every major (or concentration) has its fair share of oddballs, but right around […]

At 9:50 I scurried up the stairs to the reception area. “Hey Joanne, I’ll be right back. I just have to move my car,” was how I reminded the school receptionist that 10 AM was fast approaching. Being only an […]

You’ve heard it time and time again–college is a bubble. Yet nothing drives this point home more than all of the insane, bat-shit crazy things college students do that really makes you wonder if they’re real […]

Over the past few months it has been made abundantly clear to me that I am the last person in the world who owns a Blackberry. On a regular basis, my friends rail on me at the bar whenever I put my phone on […]

There’s no way around it:  the holidays are stressful. If you’re a college or grad student, it means spending the better part of December studying for and taking finals only to rush through your holiday […]
