Choosing where to attend college is one of the most impactful decisions a young person can make in their lives – but it’s also one that can be fraught with pitfalls. The ideal university for one person might leave another student unhappy and dissatisfied.
Out of all the decisions we make in life, there are few as important as choosing the community where we decide to set down roots. Nearly every aspect of life —from job opportunities, to the quality of education, to life expectancy — is connected to the ZIP Code that you choose to call home.

New Year’s resolution season also inevitably brings about discussions of living a healthier lifestyle, which generally requires fewer alcohol-based indulgences.
After 12 long months, 2024 finally drew to a close on Tuesday evening, and on Wednesday morning, New Year’s resolution season started once again.
