October midterms are coming up. Some say if you can’t understand, just memorize. And to memorize, try the “stacking” method: 1. First, use a pencil or word processor (I prefer the latter because it’s faster) to type, in complete sentences, any fact you think might appear on the test. Use short sentences because they’re easier ...
Cal over at StudyHacks recently posted a great article on the effectiveness of spreading out your studying. He recommends starting a week in advance, and if this is a possibility for you (around all your other social obligations, of course), we would agree. Important to note in this method, however, is the fact that each ...
From the Study Hacks blog comes some unorthodox advice for freshman that you will never find in any handout, packet, binder, or book your new school will ever give you. We at HackCollege agree whole-heartedly. How unorthodox is the advice? Well, try the suggestion to “party twice as hard the first two weeks.” We’ll leave ...

Jason recently linked to an article mentioning the statistic that 75% of college freshmen gain 7 lbs. their first semester in college. Hmmm. CHOW recently posted a good guide to dorm-room cooking. Assuming your college is “flexible” with fire hazards such as a microwave or even a George Forman Grill, you might want to check ...
Today I started (again) my endless journey to a college degree. The start of a new semester gives you a clean slate and a chance for new opportunities. But for most of us, a few weeks into the school year and we begin to veer off our path and lose some vigor. Jay White, at ...
I’ve finally posted a “how to”: How to solve the 3×3×3 rubik’s cube: In three steps and with only six moves (to memorize)
As a young freshman, I looked forward to moving into my dorm and assembling an impromptu shelving unit via the cinder-block-and-plank method. Unfortunately, I have yet to see another one at my school (maybe it’s not a West Coast thing) or any other dorm or apartment I’ve visited. Image courtesy of “Ms Bunburyist” of ...
It’s about that time to start thinking about what to put in your dorm room, especially if you’re a freshman.

For our readers still in high school, the October 2007 SAT registration deadline is in one month. If you’re a junior, you can wait until the spring, but if you’re a senior, you need to take the SAT this fall (if you’d like to attend one of the 5723667263 college that require the SAT, that ...
A week or two ago, we recommended College Fashion .Net and its dorm room shopping series. A day or two ago, “Briana” just posted the third part to her series. Check it out: College Dorm Room Shopping Part 3: Storage
Today, I heard a commercial that said we’ll spend about a week of our lives on average tying our shoes. As a preacher of the HackCollege dogma, I refuse to be so inefficient. Unfortunately, this will be redundant — I’m basically ripping off one of the websites that Rosario mentioned below. But since I’m apparently ...
