Since we’ve officially Halloweened, it is perfectly acceptable, officially, to enjoy the holiday spirit! Break out the Christmas music, sugary holiday foods, and procrastinate on your homework so you can start shopping for gifts! Another lovely tradition of the holiday season is ice skating. Luckily for us, some new company is celebrating a product launch and is graciously/self-promotingly taken over the Bryant Park skating rink and is providing free ice skate rentals, hot chocolate, and bag check from 11 a.m.-10 p.m. So go out there and procrastinate on those late midterms!

While the rest of Columbians are holed away in Butler preparing for the week, the select few slackers among us are out looking for one last weekend hurrah. And because you are slackers, we know you don’t have any money. So, without further ado, our Sunday evening free city event picks. More »

Afternoon delight in Philosophy Hall

Miller Theatre

In this week’s installment of “Getting the Most for Your Tuition,” Dino Grandoni checks out free Lunchtime Concerts.

Yesterday, while most of Columbia was enjoying the newly untarped lawns outside in the sun, I took in a little afternoon delight (no, not that kind) in the form of one of Miller Theatre’s Lunchtime Concerts. More »

Free massages at a cost

Our new Style series, “Getting the Most for Your Tuition” will feature reviews of Columbia’s free services. In our first edition, Allison Malecha investigates “Stress Busting” massages.

4 p.m. I find myself in the Wien lounge for Stress Busters’ ‘Wind Down Wednesday!’ Their exclamation point. The oh-so-elegant lounge furniture has all been pushed aside for three white folding chairs, each accompanied by its own light blue t-shirted ‘Stress Buster.’ From the sign up sheet it’s clear that most of the stressed are returnees.
