Student Life
Veterans Day = Stuck in the Quad
<p>In honor of America's finest, there will be no shuttle service today. </p> <p> </p> <p>Yeah, we don't get it either, but all we know is if you want to do anything today (except for, well, staying in the Quad), you'll have to walk, not ride, to wherever you may want to go. </p> <p> </p> <p>It could be worse. On this day last year, it was 40 degrees outside according to the Northeast Regional Climate Center, but today, it's a pleasant 53 degrees. And you thought global warming was all bad news.</p>
Love @ctually?
<p>Harvard is like Hogwarts in so many ways—we’ve got the house system, we’ve got Annenberg, we’ve even got Quidditch—but one thing notoriously absent is any form of love potion. </p> <p> </p> <p>Harvard is known for a lot of things, but for better of for worse, a thriving dating scene is not one of them. </p> <p> </p> <p>Sanyee Yuan ’12 hopes to change all this with the new-and-improved second season of Harvard’s premiere dating show, “Love@Harvard.” </p> <p> </p> <p>“Upperclassmen always say freshman year was the best for meeting people and the dating scene becomes a little nonexistent after that,” said Yuan, the host and executive producer of the show. “When people talk about their futures here, they talk about concentrations and jobs, never about finding a significant other.” </p> <p> </p> <p>The HUTV reality show, created last year by Emma Coleman ’09, hopes to bring love back into the picture by catalyzing relationships in ten minutes or less. More after the jump. </p>

A Finals Club Basement
Whether you're a freshman girl partying or a sophomore punching, you may find that a finals club basement can bring you both fear and pleasure.
The Observation Deck of William James Hall
If you suffer from acrophobia, the fear of heights, then the observation deck on the 15th floor of William James Hall might not be for you. For the rest of you, it's a great place to get a 360 degree view of the Yard, the Houses, and Boston.
The Harvard Museum of Natural History
If you have the ability to access the Harvard Museum of Natural History at night, I wouldn't recommend exercising it. The sounds of creaking heating pipes and girders are all too perfect accompaniments to the macabre display.
The Garden Street Shuttle Stop
In a morbid move by the shuttle system, the Garden Street stop was chosen to be right between the Old Burying Ground and the shadowy Cambridge Commons and is very far from anywhere anybody is going.
The UHS Urgent Care Center
Nothing kills a party like alcohol poisoning or a fight. But nothing kills a weekend like having to descend into the UHS Urgent Care Center to get it all patched up.
The Lowell House Basement
While not as infamous as Kirkland's basement, the cramped corridors underlying Lowell House are nothing if not eerie and claustrophobic.
