Good, but not great
UR students returned this semester to find the much-maligned Zoca in Wilson Commons replaced with the much-anticipated Burrito Bowl, which offers healthier and more diverse options than its predecessor.

This Meliora Weekend, students could be found across campus with cardboard signs and shirts featuring mysterious numbers next to a dollar sign.

Senioritis: hold the inoculation
Senioritus is a plague that has begun to set in on the Class of 2015. It’s clear by the looks on the faces of many seniors that their minds are off somewhere else. Many of them talk about job prospects for next year and how little they care about school work. To be fair, not […]

The dirty facts about UR bathrooms
Hopping off the Riverview bus, which was late as usual, you find that you only have five minutes until your class begins.
