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.

http://www.onlinecolleges.net/2012/01/29/10-colleges-growing...
Like Cypher enjoying a juicy steak in The Matrix, ignorance is bliss when it comes to our food. For years we have been eating products without knowing where they came from, how they were grown (or created), or how they got to us. But lately it has been really hard to stay ignorant. Michael Pollan and Food, Inc. have shown us the ugly truth of how unsustainable and unhealthy our food practices are. College campuses, historically on the forefront of social change, are leading the way toward a greener America. Of the many schools across the country enacting some kind of green activities, here are 10 colleges growing their own food.

20 Academic Conferences That Actually Exist
2 / 0
http://www.onlinecolleges.net/2011/11/15/20-academic-confere...
If you’ve been paying attention to news about academic conferences lately, you’ve probably noticed a pretty shocking story: the University of Chicago recently hosted a Jersey Shore conference.

While a Jersey Shore academic conference is certainly unusual, the fact is that it’s not the first of its kind. Strange and obscure, even disturbing academic conferences have existed for some time.
