...other chemistry-related departments, at the technical school down Mass. Ave., and at the Medical School. The department’s undergrad advisor, Gregg Tucci, can help you match your interests to a professor, but do your own research, too. Make sure you talk to other undergrads or grad students in the lab try to get a sense of what the work atmosphere is like, because some labs—particularly Prof. David A. Evans’—are known to be particularly competitive once you’re there. Don’t be afraid to jump...
...adjusting to college life. Given its dual mission, programs through the BSC can seem like a combination of Positive Psych section and a “How to Live Your Best Life” Oprah segment. But for students looking for understanding adults and a mix of undergraduates and grad students to talk to, the BSC can feel homey. Students needing a tutor can get one through the BSC, but with a $4/hr. fee, they might be better off going more frequently to their TFs (free) office hours instead.

Rosso's big idea was to improve the product and the margins. (He had road tested the first part of that formula as a teenager selling friends $7 jeans he made on his mother's sewing machine.) In 1988 he hired a young Dutch fashion-school grad named Wilbert Das, and they began to experiment with dyes and destruction?all sorts of techniques to age the jeans and give them a more vintage feel. They moved pockets, reshaped the jeans, introduced curves?and then charged a whopping $79. Their look was Rosso's look, a blend of thrift store, Americana...
