5 options to consider when looking for off-campus housing A big decision that can affect your academic performance as well as your social and life development in all kinds of ways.
How do you choose the right housing for your particular needs as a student? It’s a decision that can affect your academic performance and it’s also going to impact your social and life development in all kinds of ways. Each student has their own needs and circumstances. For some, the final rental price is important and they are mainly interested in the financial side of housing. For example, it’s common for universities to offer off-campus accommodation they have procured through deals with real estate agencies, but these options are often above the financial capabilities of the average student. Others are more lucky and are mainly interested in where they will…

Inspiration from the 7 most stubborn people in history You think your kids are stubborn? You have no idea how bad it gets.
Man crosses Atlantic in raft with no water In 1952, Alain Bombard grew concerned with how many lives were being lost at sea. As a well-regarded scientist, it was within his means to start developing safer nautical emergency equipment. But Bombard was ridiculously stubborn, and had already convinced himself that people were dying in life rafts simply because they weren’t good enough at managing their resources. To prove his theory that safety required better people and not better safety equipment, Bombard prepared to set sail on a little raft across the Atlantic ocean. He didn’t bring any fresh water, and only a sextant to guide him. Neither a newborn baby,…

How close did we actually come to Fallout’s nuclear future? Nuclear cars, robots, mutants, the atom-bomb apocalypse... where did Fallout’s grim retro-futurism come from, and how close did we come to a Fallout future?
Before you even had the first Fallout game out of its jewel case, the game hit you square in the face with its vision of the nuclear future. On page three of the manual – styled as the Vault Dweller’s Survival Guide – you found this image, and immediately understood just what this world you were about to visit was like. Unlike the fantasy RPGs that defined the genre at the time, this was a game about the future-that-wasn’t: a 1950s sci-fi imagining of the Cold War, complete with mushroom clouds, underground cities and grinning, all-American propaganda. Fallout‘s ruins of post-war America were a love letter to the golden age…
