Northwestern creamed Towson — now see how the other Big Ten teams fared in the first week of college football.

Zoe will be in Jerusalem, Israel until Jan. 2.

The biggest adjustment to life at Hebrew University has been how much independence is required of students here.  The majority of non-international students never even live on campus.  It’s great to live in the Student Village (Kfar HaStudentim, affectionately known as the Kfar) where students are [...]

Kari will be in Florence, Italy until Dec. 17.

It was time to meet my host family in the Villa Rossa, the main building on campus. My roommate Kate and I sat among a mix of American students and Italian adults in a large lecture room, and I couldn’t help but look from face to face [...]

Fans did a double-take Saturday afternoon at Ryan Field when they saw #19 cut through the Towson defense and streak down the sideline for a 22-yard touchdown, his second of the quarter. No, it wasn’t Tyrell Sutton back for another exciting year at NU — it was true freshman halfback Arby Fields, who amassed 48 [...]

Staci will be in Barcelona, Spain, from Aug. 27 to June 2010.

To start off, a bit of advice: If you’re traveling on the Metro in Barcelona, always carry your metro card with you.
I was sharing a card with someone else and got off at a different stop than they did, and it turns out [...]

In an interview with North by Northwestern, Judge discusses his cult classics and how Office Space caused Swingline to make red staplers.

It’s Extract’s similarities to Office Space that make the movie funny, but it’s the differences that make the movie compelling. Plus, you know, a guy loses his ball. Comedy gold.

Kari will be in Florence, Italy until Dec. 17.

And the luggage difficulties continue. After an agonizingly long and stressful day with lengthy layovers and even longer flights, I touched down in the Florence airport to find that one of my suitcases was missing.
The program instructions said to pack one suitcase to take to the hotel, [...]

Find out what to bring to class — and what not to worry about — as a freshman.

Zoe will be in Jerusalem, Israel until Jan. 2.

I’m beginning to feel like I didn’t make studying abroad out to be a big enough deal in my head.  I’ve been to Israel every year for the past six years, for some period of time between 10 days and three months (not to mention three [...]

Staci will be in Barcelona, Spain, from Aug. 27 to June 2010.

I’ve been wrong about a lot of things here in Barcelona.
First, I was wrong for how long it would take for me to feel at home. I thought it would take six weeks, but apparently all it takes is a memory-foam mattress pad [...]

Taylor is studying in Buenos Aires, Argentina until Nov. 28.

Having been here for about a month now, I’ve had time for it to really sink in: I’m actually here, in Buenos Aires. After so much anticipation and the overwhelming excitement of arrival, I’m left with a jumble of thoughts and emotions that have finally [...]

When I was in elementary school, I remember one thought crossing my mind on the first day of school.  Every year, I was struck by this crazy, wistful notion: “I wish summer could be longer.”
Oh God, if only I knew.
If my entry this week seems shorter, it’s for one very obvious reason: Not all that [...]

Kari will be in Florence, Italy until Dec. 17.

In approximately three hours, I will be embarking from the Detroit airport on the first leg of my journey to Italy. First is the two-hour flight to New York’s JFK airport, where I’ll be meeting up with a group of students from my program. Following a four-hour [...]

Zoe will be in Jerusalem, Israel until Jan. 2.

After spending my first weekend off campus and out of Jerusalem, I’m beginning to feel like life in the gated Jerusalem University is not quite reflective of life in Israel.
I’d initially worried that I would be surrounded by Americans in my dorm and in classes.  However, [...]
