Like many other TV freaks, Necratog, 21, also downloads favorite programs and burns them onto CDs. His archives include 400 CDs that hold more than a thousand Buffy, Babylon 5, South Park and Star Trek shows. But Buffy is his favorite.

...already connected (if not yet in a student-accessible way), Lowell and Winthrop House residents can practically throw spoons at each other between their dining halls, and many Cabot House residents can stare out their windows into those of Pforzheimer House’s dining hall.

Once in Yading, trade in your mud-spattered jalopy for a hardy Tibetan pony that can better fare the torturous 14-km trek to Luorong Pasture. From there the view of the Konkaling range is breathtaking. Farther along, the three sacred peaks of Chenrezig, Chanadorje and Jambeyang?named after a trinity of Tibetan deities?loom over the landscape. If the light is just right, Jambeyang resembles a perfect pyramid: a Shangri-la setting waiting...
