Computing at Carnegie Mellon is revised: by offering the class through the Online Learning Institute, students’ first semesters no longer include mandatory twice-per week sessions full of group projects and Unix commands. Freshmen, don’t think the rest of us can forgive you for your good fortune.
As if having Orient Express and Union Grill’s happy hour on the same street wasn’t satisfying enough, Dozens and Razzy Fresh change our lives forever when they open new branches on beloved Craig. Now we have two less reasons to venture more than 1 square mile outside of campus.
