Everyday Life

Everyday life doesn't wait until you're out of school. Whether you live on or off campus, you still have to figure out where to eat, where to do laundry, where to go if you're sick, and where to find a part-time job. That's why this section is all about resources: where you can eat on campus, how to get answers to your health questions, how to keep safe, where to find jobs and internships, and how to deal with money matters—finding fellowships, ATMs, or student discounts. If you're thinking about living off campus, you'll find information on the nuts and bolts of apartment living, from finding one to hooking up the utilities. Plus there are tips on how to keep up with the news and what to do when your parents visit.

"I never felt easy till the raft was two mile below there and out in the middle of the Mississippi.... We said there warn't no home like a raft, after all. Other places do seem so cramped up and smothery, but a raft don't. You feel mightly free and easy and comfortable on a raft."

Mark Twain,
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
