Honors in the Major
The Honors in a Major Program offers the opportunity for intensive, individual study in a major.
Honors in a Major credit is earned by completing an honors project in a regular course. Although the nature of the honors work will vary, it should involve intellectual creativity and may take such forms as research, investigation, or artistic effort. The student initiates and plans the honors project and works closely with one or more faculty members in carrying it out. At the conclusion of the study, superior accomplishment should be demonstrated in some appropriate way. The honors project is done in addition to the normal course assignments, and does not directly affect the course grade. Students who choose to participate in the Honors in the Major track will take three honors courses (total of 12 credit hours) within their major field of study.
Students who would like to participate in Honors in the Major track do not have to participate in the University Honors track. In order to be accepted into Honors in the Major, students must hold a minimum GPA of 3.5 in the major, provide two letters of recommendation and a project proposal and complete an application.
Graduation Requirements
For graduation with Honors in a Major, a student must have at least a 3.50 grade point average in the major at graduation, and honors credit in at least three courses in the major that total at least 12 semester hours. One course may be at the 200 level and all other courses must be 300 level or above. Eligible courses may be further specified by the major department, as described in each departmental section of the College Catalogue.
Honors Thesis/Project
One of the courses taken for Honors in a Major may be an Honors Thesis/Project (All-College course 494), which is an independent study course in the major. The description of the course as given in the College Catalogue is:
494 Honors Thesis/Project: A research/project course designed to meet the needs of the individual student seeking honors in the major at graduation.

Off-Campus Housing: About 2% of the school is allowed to live off-campus. That's right, not only do people just choose to live on campus, but there's a CAP on how many people are allowed to live off-campus. I think it's around 40 right now, and they keep lowering it every year. Luckily, everything is on campus and I can't imagine living off, but it would be nice to know that there was the option if I had wanted to.Often, it's mostly Greek life who has houses off campus, but very few.
Off-Campus Housing: Don't Expect to Live Off Campus – You actually have to get residential life approval before even looking at the few available places. Off campus housing is also too far removed from everything, it is not easy to trudge up the hill every morning.
Off-Campus Housing: Residential Campus – Only a few people live off campus. Housing is guaranteed, and living on campus is a huge part of the Hamilton experience.
Off-Campus Housing: only a small percentage of students choose to live off campus, but it is a deffinately a feasible option!
Off-Campus Housing: Why go off campus? Most everyone lives on campus. And why not? It's a school that's very campus-oriented, so you might as well be close to the action. Folks in Clinton do rent out houses and apartments to (predominately) seniors who want that. Good trial run as far as having your own place before getting off into the real world.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
Written by Sophie Vershbow
Housing off campus is very limited. About 95 percent of the student body lives on campus all four years, and only a handful of juniors and seniors are able to find housing off campus. Most students will argue that living on campus is the better deal, both more convenient to class and friends. Also, on a campus where snow is the predominant weather pattern throughout most of the year, living off campus can be more frustrating than fun. Since classes aren't ever cancelled, except in the case of white-outs, driving through snow, ice, and poor visibility at 8 a.m. is one of the drawbacks to living off campus. Most of the events Hamilton students go to take place on campus, and there is very little to do off campus, so it is worth living in the dorms for the convenient access to facilities. The apartments downtown aren't very nice either. The apartments are spacious and cheap, but usually in a state of disrepair. Expect the faucets to fall off your sinks in the first week. In order for off-campus housing to be worth it, you have to be able to fix small things around your house (as your landlord probably will not do it) and get along very well with your housemates.
On the other hand, there are obvious benefits to living in a house off campus like living in a house with a group of friends. It does tend to be Greeks who are able to pull off-campus housing for members of their society, and the houses downtown are only about six in number. Since so few students are granted permission to live downtown, it is not a very dominant social scene. The residents of Clinton and the surrounding areas are known for being unfriendly towards students, so having a party in your apartment could get you evicted. At the very least, the police will be called to break up the parties.

This used to be a bicycle factory ROG, founded after the Second World War. Today it is in temporary use by whomever is in need of a working and creation place. Big halls are offering a lot of space, there are many studios, 3 skate parks, small football arena, halls for dance practices, working places for many creative groups and many more.
There is a gallery Kljub vsemu (Nevertheless), which is on the left hand side after you enter the Rog walls. Here or in the building behind there are nice parties sometimes. On the right hand side there is a small building that has smaller events, like debates, film projections, alternative Erasmus hanging spot, smaller concerts and whatever you can think of.
But if you go towards the tallest building, that looks like a factory hall, and you follow the noise you will enter the concert hall. In this biggest hall they also sell drinks when there is an event. Expect to see heavy alternative music and interesting young groups from around Slovenia.

p>"Can a series finale make a show jump the shark?" asks my colleague Mickey O'Connor, referring to ABC's wackadoo Life on Mars wrap-up, in which we discover that time-traveling cop Sam Tyler is actually an astronaut from the year 2035 on his way to Mars. Cue the David Bowie; it's going to be a wild ride.You see, in order to make the two-year-long journey more bearable, the astronauts upload a type of virtual-reality vacation for the brain. In Sam's case, he thought it would be cool to be a cop "way back" in 2008. But of all the luck, the ship hit an asteroid field or something, which rejiggered the program's calendar, sending Future Sam even further back into the past — to 1973.Nevertheless, there are some nice touches. Tyler's copilots on the 2035 Mars probe are played by the same actors from the 125, including Michael Imperioli, Gretchen Mol and Harvey Keitel — who, it's revealed, is actually Sam's father. But otherwise, the finale reveals that the entire show as we knew it was a fiction. All those cases and characters and complications never existed. (Poor Lisa Bonet!)What did you think of the Life on Mars finale? Refreshingly original or an idea past its time?

Pink Floyd: The ultimate rocker tee!The good old reliable t-shirt. We all have one....or two, or three, or four (let's be serious). No matter the season, they're a must-have.
Here's the problem: With so many fabulous options to choose from, like rocker, v-neck, and the beloved boyfriend, it can be dizzying trying to pair them perfectly and come up with new ways to make them look... well... new!
GalTime checked in with celebrity fashion stylist Colin McDonald for the 411 on this season's coolest tees (we bet you already have some in your closet!), and how to make them shine this summer.
Rock n' Roll /Vintage Tee: These types of shirts are easily complemented by a maxi skirt in lace or another textured material. If you want to show a little leg, have fun with colored denim or ripped denim shorts.

Nautical Stripes: The key here is mixing in some bold colored or neon denim. This helps to give off the nautical vibe without looking too themed.
BB Dakota
BB Dakota Evette Striped Knit Top, $75
Bright/Bold: With a bright or bold tee, try color blocking. Color blocking is huge right now, so any other fun colored bottom can work. You can also add a neutral color like khaki, black, orwhite to balance out a look. Dark denim works great, too!

Comic Con 2012 Report
July 25, 2012 by Colin Solan
Filed under Animation, Anime, California, Collectibles, Comic Books, Comic Strips, Comic-Con International, Everything Else, Gaming, Horror, Movies, Other, Science Fiction and Fantasy, Television, Top Stories
Comic-Con has come and gone! While this year's convention was bigger and more crowded than ever before, I still had the best time I've ever had in San Diego. Planning ahead is definitely a pre-requisite more than ever as the convention gets bigger and brings in more and more celebrities. The big signings were required to ticket which caused many fans to be left out and unless you camped out for the panel rooms you were out of luck.
One of the biggest highlights this year was getting to go to Dos Equis's "Most Interesting Party" thanks to booth-mate Mark Hay of Splash Page Comic Art and his client Charlie Adlard, artist of The Walking Dead. Celebrity chef Craig Thornton of Wolvesmouth in Los Angeles was there to serve up a six course meal, each of which was amazing but the kicker was the dessert, shortcake topped with whipped cream infused with pop rocks! It was a very swanky event and we got to rub elbows with celebrities like professional nerd Chris Hardwick, collage artist Michael Anderson, and NFL linebacker Dhani Jones. Big thanks to Bjorn, Andrea, Melinda, and the rest of the Dos Equis team for hosting! Be sure to check out Dos Equis's upcoming Most Interesting Academy, an initative to encourage people to follow their passions.
Then on Friday night Team CAF made a trip to Petco Park which had been overrun by the Walking Dead! We spent about 45 minutes running through the stadium, climbing over obstacles, and dodging zombies at every turn. I was caught on many occasions and quarantined as "infected" by the medical staff awaiting us at the end of the course. The zombies were quite dedicated and only broke character once when I turned and hugged one chasing me with outstretched arms to the laughs and applause of the surrounding zombies and on-looking staff.
I need to thank the many friends and complete strangers who helped me out over the course of the convention, proving that it's always necessary to practice good karma. Special thanks go out to Bill Cox and Chris Haggard of Comic Art Fans, Ben & Jeni DeFeo, and my roommate "DrunkN" Randy House.
