Reporter Recommends

Watching NOVA. Ever feel that ordinary feeling you hear so much about at RIT? Brick-related boredom, a dull city life, and the nearly popular (and daily) complaints from fellow classmates are sure to convince you of life’s sheer blandness. You may just be in need of a NOVA kick. No matter the subject, this scientific discovery driven show will be sure to fascinate and awe you. Chances are, you’ll learn more from an hour-long sitting than you will from an hour of repetitious Tuesday night homework. Yes, we did just recommend television over schoolwork.
