Between housing, travel, food, professional clothing and other expenses—especially if the internship is in an expensive city like Tokyo or Paris—an unpaid foreign internship could cost a student five figures.
Virginia will expand Medicaid or it will not: the possibility of compromise, of shifting the terms of agreement, does not seem to apply here. Thus Medicaid expansion threatens the façade of a bipartisan government—Democrats in the executive branch, Republicans in the legislature—and reminds us of the too-familiar downside of divided government: deadlock.
It seems evident that a minimum wage increase may result in marginal improvement in economic growth.
Republicans are crying foul and claiming the ad strives to compare rapists to Republican politicians, which at best is an exaggeration and at worst completely made up.
Leftist politics is an exciting but flawed arena. Though it is essential to learn from the mistakes of the past, we must acknowledge Marx’s continuing relevance in thinking about current events.
The women who watch the show because they believe in the type of contrived, media-hyped romance it promotes are few, and they are as naive as the contestants who go on the show believing they will truly find love. Thankfully, those women are few, too.
The flurry of white paper—a frenzy of resolutions and statements and letters volleyed between various academic groups—was as blinding and as icy (in tone, at least) as the polar vortex-induced snowfalls that bombarded the Midwest last week.
Since women and children became the victim of this war, I have lost so many of my family members. Every single day, I read news about women being killed or abused in different kinds of struggles. What is the solution?
When it comes to water, Brown College has two main problems: apathy and a serious need for renovation.
Ex-offenders face the ultimate catch-22 when they attempt to join the workforce. On the one hand, there is strong evidence that finding stable employment is a critical component of staying out of prison. On the other hand, it is virtually impossible for ex-offenders to actually attain employment.

We are sure to screw up, embarrass ourselves, get some bad grades, make questionable fashion choices, say things we regret or take classes we hate. The list goes on. But that’s all OK. It is important to remember that your failures are just as valuable as your successes.
Mandela was not who we thought he was; he wasn’t that violent figure that we’d seen in the papers. Nor was he the violent firebrand that some in the ANC wanted him to be.

The managing board recounts some notable numerals
As I dropped off my form at the study abroad office, I was then slapped in the face with an additional $490. This added an almost 10 percent increase to the cost of my program. I was told it covered the costs associated with transferring the credits over and vetting the legitimacy of the program.
Firm in our views on abortion, we at Feminism is for Everyone (FIFE) and Hoos for Life were frequently surrounded only by those who agreed with one another.
A fancy trade school, the McIntire School of Commerce is a drain on academia and the liberal arts undergraduate experience at the University.
Until we can say with confidence that the SAT’s essays gauge student writing effectively, SAT scores should not exempt students from the first writing requirement.
