Kitchen 101: Ramen goes Asian...finally

By Jerome Stuart Nichols · Friday, Aug. 31, 2012

Late last semester, I released into the world my first Ramen noodle-based recipes to the masses. From the complete lack of emails I received about it, I could tell it was a roaring success. Since this issue will be in the hands of incoming freshmen, I thought it would be a good idea to revisit the Ramen noodle experience.

By Katie Remski · Tuesday, Aug. 21, 2012

As a commuter student, I won’t be setting up a dorm, moving into a new city or getting settled with a new roommate at the start of my freshman year (although I do have to coordinate with my sister). But, getting your space organized is important regardless of where you live.
