...free lunch,” holds no weight at another college. For one, you can sneak into the dining hall and literally consume a free lunch. But if you want some other shit, don’t go to the campus bookstore and buy it like a tool: Simply lurk into the closest dorm and start checking all the doors like you’re playing that level in Mario Bros. 3. As long as you follow that other aphorism, “Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth,”a odds...
...most freshmen will have realized by now, Harvard isn’t quite the liberal, egalitarian paradise that its conservative detractors make it out to be.

For amongst you—in every pore of the social fabric—lurk the mathematically disinclined. A recent Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) survey serves to remind the forgetful just how awful Americans are at math. The U.S. came in 24th out of the 29 OECD countries ranked...
