Let’s play a game. I’ll give you three dinner menus and you guess whether they are from a Brown dining hall or a five-star restaurant.

SciLi stacks got you down? Tired of having to hear the breathy chortles of people whispering in the first floor of the Rock? When I find myself in one of these situations, I often ride my bike down the gloriously steep College Hill, beyond South Main Street to Rise ‘n Shine, a little coffee ...
