Summer pre-college programs: The ‘college experience’ and fungible classes advertised come at too steep of a price October 1, 2023 — by Beverly Xu Imagine spending your summer as a student at Brown University — sitting in the classes, roaming the streets of quaint Providence, Rhode Island, and interacting with Ivy League professors — all while you are still in high school. This is the main selling point of one of Brown’s pre-college programs — Summer@Brown — and other […] read more » 100-word rant: What do people see in MacBooks anyway? September 29, 2023 — by Alec Guan There’s an infestation of Mac users. While there are other quality laptops on the market (ahem, Windows), somehow people choose the most expensive and least efficient option. MacBooks can cost upwards of $2,000, which is insane when you consider that a $2,600 Macbook Pro performs worse than a Windows laptop half its price in terms […] read more » Why cutting clubs — and expecting more of the remaining ones — makes sense September 29, 2023 — by Saachi Jain During this year’s Club Rush, the quad was more packed than ever. Students tripped over each other in an effort to visit as many tables as they could, learning more information about them and collecting various treats each offered. There are nearly 80 clubs on the ASB roster, including 10 new ones established this year.

As murmurs spread during the evacuation, the lower field was so hot that some students were moved from the field and rested on the track instead.
