So, you're going to college. Or you're still going to college. Maybe you're still going to college after 30 years (literally, financially or psychologically). Or maybe you figure that you'll just watch the movies instead of reading thousands of dollars worth of textbooks. Whatever category you fall into, we've got something for you in Metro Times' first College Guide. From the art of dorm-room cooking to art school clichés, from an 18-year-old's money-problem screed to the politics of higher-and-higher tuition. We also list student-friendly places for dining, drinking, nightclubbing and more for Midtown Detroit, Ypsi and A2. (And there're even more dining suggestions in this week's food section.) Do you have advice for productive college years? Send them off to us at [email protected], and we'll pass them along to the masses. Or post your comments online.
