All you students better hope that the much-ballyhooed zombie apocalypse doesn't start while you're in college. It is a well-known fact — science, really — that the undead love themselves some brains. So the shambling hordes will likely be making a beeline right for the Rochester area's many college campuses. They're like all-you-can-eat buffets for gray matter. Finally, a downside to being smart.
But we kid. You have more pressing issues than the fictitious walking dead. You're in college now, and that means having to figure out how to juggle your course work, a social life, and the ins and outs of your newly emancipated existence.
City Newspaper is here to help. Our annual Student Survival Guide is packed with information about how to make the most of your college career in Rochester, with articles focused on on- and off-campus topics. In this edition, learn about Rochester schools' growing international-student population, get some ideas on how to make cash at part-time gigs, and update your smart-phone calendar with our upcoming events guide.
Once you're ready to get off campus, check out our guide to some cool local movie theaters, get our music editor's suggestions for clubs open to the under-21 set, and set out on a scavenger hunt that will take you to 25 must-visit places in the ROC.
