Who else almost didn’t notice that SNHUStock happened? The concert left just as quickly as it came this year. CAPE hosted Groove Boston, a DJ group catered to college students. This was their second consecutive year as the headliner for SNHUStock. The event saw 700 students, according to CAPE, and around 500 students according to SGA’s Penmen Pride system, the organization's platform to track

Only one building on campus can properly exemplify the environment first-year students should find themselves in when they first live on campus.

Every year, students are subjected to the greatest stressor of the modern college era. Outside of finals, tuition costs, financial aid, grade point averages, procrastination, lack of sleep, impending debt, the fear of catastrophic failure after graduating and worst of all, sleeping in too late on a Saturday and realizing that the omelette line is no longer open, there is the impending dread of

What really scares the living daylights out of every commuter on campus is not finding

Should students be penalized for missing classes they pay for? If a customer buys a computer software program from Best Buy, but comes home and doesn’t use it, should Best Buy penalize that customer?
