10 Biggest Nerd Gatherings in the World
1 / 0
http://www.bestonlinecolleges.com/blog/2012/10-biggest-nerd-...
For the majority of the year, the most serious nerds among us are shut away in dark rooms or basements in front of computer screens and games of Dungeons and Dragons. But every once in a while, the mothership seems to call them all home, at least for the length of a convention or other kind of meet-up. You'll see Star Wars characters and gamers in a trance, flocking to event sites. Now, we're not going to delve into the differences between geek and nerd culture. If you want to argue about it, we can probably assume that you fall into one of those two categories and will find a gathering you'll love below.

50 Hidden Gems on Campuses Across America
1 / 0
http://www.onlinecolleges.net/2012/02/05/50-hidden-gems-on-c...
At first glance, your average college campus typically seems pretty innocuous: a dorm here, student union there, libraries, administration buildings, classrooms, regular things you’d expect to find at any school. But so many campuses are home to old mysteries, amazing books, carefully manicured gardens, and sometimes even ghost stories. As students and faculty rush about their daily lives on campus, it’s certainly easy for all of these things to pass them by, but when given a second look or a moment of investigation, you may find that there’s a hidden gem that’s been there all along, just waiting to be discovered. Here, we’ll explore 50 amazing gems hidden among college campuses in the US, some of them secret, some mysterious, and some of them just simply underutilized.Just about every school has its own set of legends about unwritten graduation requirements, spooky stories no one can prove, and even little Easter eggs hidden about campus. We’ll explore just a few of them here.

The Very Best Books for Every Travel Destination
1 / 0
http://www.accreditedonlinecolleges.com/blog/2012/the-very-b...
While any book can transport you to another place and time, some do such a good job of conveying a sense of place that you feel like you’ve been to a country or a city, even if you never have. Of course, when you’re really hoping to travel to another place soon, it can be a good idea to take in one of these great reads to get a feeling for the atmosphere and history of your destination (though books of this sort are excellent tools for armchair tourism as well) before you go. Luckily, there are numerous reads rife with rich descriptions of locales around the world, bringing to life places far-flung, long gone, or even close to home. So whether you’re looking for the perfect literary travel accompaniment or just want to explore the world from your couch, pick up one of these amazing reads to experience the Paris of Hemingway, the Dublin of Joyce, or the American South of Faulkner.

10 Reasons Academia Isn’t Radical Anymore
1 / 0
http://www.onlineuniversities.com/blog/2012/02/10-reasons-ac...
Most of the great breakthroughs in science, math, and philosophy haven’t been readily accepted by mainstream society, even though the scholars that presented these iconic ideas are lauded for their genius today. Academia, at many times in history, has been the refuge of those who are willing to think outside the box and come to conclusions about the world and our place in it that may be hard for people to stomach. Yet increasingly, this radical element of academia is falling by the wayside, leaving many wondering why academia just isn’t as edgy as it once was.While there are still some radical academics out there, they’re becoming increasingly few and far between. Mainstream media, funding issues, controls on academic freedom, and even the university structure itself all have a role to play in the decline of radical academia. Read on to learn more and why, for better or worse, academics of today are a much better-behaved group than those in the past.
