	7 Fab Foods for Finals By Jillian Casale April 20, 2012 - 2:27pm One too many a collegiette knows the embarrassment of having her stomach growl loudly in an otherwise silent room during an exam.

	The 7 Worst Places to Get Dumped on Campus By Julie Dumas & Jillian Casale April 14, 2012 - 11:56am A friend of mine recently witnessed a horrific break-up in, of all places, the Curry Student Center. We got to thinking about some other awful places to publicly end a relationship on Northeastern’s campus, and here’s what we came up with... 3rd Floor Snell: So you planned on having a quiet, romantic study date. Everything is going as planned in the cubbie until you get a message you weren’t expecting. You want to cry, scream, run away…. But you can’t.

Ever hear of Twitter? Napster? Both co-founders of these famous enterprises are Northeastern alumni (the latter didn’t actually graduate, and his company got shut down for piracy issues, but still, Napster was huge!) Huskies get the opportunity to co-op all over the world, learning from the greatest entrepreneurs of today. In 2011, the Princeton Review named NU one of the top 12 entrepreneurial colleges in the country, so it comes as no surprise that our school has its very own start-up challenge, aptly named the “Husky Start-up Challenge” (HCS).
