One thing to add to this day dream is the possibility of a fun summer […]

A letter from some ’09 Alums and an offer to help! Seniors, First off, we hope that you are all enjoying your senior year. We wanted to take the time out to introduce our new company, Campus2City Apartments. As I’m sure many of you are considering doing, the three of us decided to work and live in New York City.

I know this a career blog but one thing that you should always remember is that you don’t always have to be serious, so here goes… I know that there have been other Friday the 13ths and there will be many more but what is interesting, or worth noting, about TODAY’S Friday the 13th is that back in 1869 a day, very much like today, was the day that would start superstitions around the world (and a slew of horrible movies creating it’s own bad genre)… Our trusted, and always reliable, source Wikipedia tells us that, “According to folklorists, there […]
