Academic culture clash eased by weekday clubbing, fewer classes

By Olivia Stitilis | November 8

American culture is known worldwide, positive reputation or not, but the British could go head to head with the United States for most distinct cultural norms. Stretching beyond colloquialisms to etiquette, food and politics, the Brits always give me a reason to feel either like an inadequate American or just laugh and roll my eyes. As a study abroad student fully integrated into a London university, or ‘uni’ as the Brits call it, and also living in a hall with British students, one of the most striking differences between British and American life has proved to be in academia.

Rally brings dangerous level of sanity to D.C.

By Travis McKay-Roberts | November 1

How exactly does the world fight fear and promote sanity? Apparently with signs condemning figs and an indeterminable number of enthused ralliers. Some tossed out Moveon.org paraphernalia, others promoted marijuana legalization, but the headlining act – Jon Stewart – never explicitly polarized the event in favor of one party or another.

Making the case for getting (somewhat) lost in Paris

By Yaniv Nahon | November 1

It’s a late night. It’s been a few hours since I looked at my phone, realized I had 10 minutes left to catch the last train home, shrugged, and put my phone back in my pocket. As I finish my last pint, say my goodbyes, search my pockets for my coat check ticket stub, and step outside into the cold, I realize that too long have taxis forced their wares upon my unwilling wallet. I long to free myself from the imperialist oppression of fare meters and deviously long routes home. In short, I spent all of my cab money on beer.
