Reporter Recommends

Watching NOVA. Ever feel that ordinary feeling you hear so much about at RIT? Brick-related boredom, a dull city life, and the nearly popular (and daily) complaints from fellow classmates are sure to convince you of life’s sheer blandness. You may just be in need of a NOVA kick. No matter the subject, this scientific discovery driven show will be sure to fascinate and awe you. Chances are, you’ll learn more from an hour-long sitting than you will from an hour of repetitious Tuesday night homework. Yes, we did just recommend television over schoolwork.

Quote

“A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.”
