Making it through the winter months is difficult for every Jumbo, but students who hail from warmer climates face the additional obstacle of transitioning from sunshine 12 months a year to living in the harsh New England chill.
My concerns about the new "Twilight" movie began when my girlfriend, after watching the "New Moon" trailer with me, whispered into my ear: "We have to see this!" I inquired with my female friends, who had seen the movie already, whether it was worth 10 bucks and a 45-minute-long T-ride to Boston Commons. I received enthusiastic responses ranging from a rather harmless, "Oh, my God, yes … you need to see it! It's so cute!" to a more R-rated, "Oh, my God, yes ... yes … yes … YES ... YEEESSSSS!!!" Since I am interested in keeping my girlfriend happy, I grudgingly bought two tickets and apprehensively submersed myself in the most anticipated vampire saga of the millennium.
I am a Tufts alumnus who was back on campus last week while headlining Theta Chi's Comedy Night for Haiti. I picked up a copy of the Tufts Daily in the Mayer Campus Center and found the Jan. 25 Features article by Carter Rogers, "High expectations take their toll like never before."
Lincoln University is about to graduate its first crop of students to have gone through college under what may be the school's most singular requirement: Students who have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher must complete a fitness course in order to graduate.
Student health care plans are exempt from the rules that regulate insurance coverage to the general public. Insurance companies do not have to abide by a minimum coverage percentage for people in school. This allows Aetna Student Health, the company that provides Tufts' student health coverage, to put only 63 percent of insurance premiums towards medical coverage. The coverage that students on the Tufts plan receive has a capped limit on prescription drugs and mental health care, and is not enough to fund preventive care and dental procedures. State reform of student health care is necessary to ensure that students are receiving the maximum coverage that their premium can provide and that there are multiple premiums available for students with different health care needs.
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has had a troubling last two weeks, mourning the death of graduate student Kabelo Zwane. Another graduate student, Guangtau Cong, went missing last Monday but has since been found.
The importance of mental health on college campuses has increasingly led students around the country to take action, and Jumbos are no exception. This year a new student group, the Tufts chapter of the Active Minds organization, was created in order to raise awareness of mental health issues.
This article is the first in a two-part series examining student health insurance.

Dozens of students, staff and administrators grappled last night with the question of alcohol abuse on campus, discussing why it is so prevalent and how things might be changed.
The path to the NCAA Championship title will be similar to last season, but this year, the field hockey team hopes that its journey will end on a high note.
While the mental and emotional health of students has long been a concern on college campuses, the past few years have seen a rise in the availability of resources for students with such issues. With the implementation of counseling and mental health programs around the country, there has been increased awareness of mental health issues as a reality in many people's lives.
Little in this world is as true as the old adage, "History is bound to repeat itself." This was evidenced in the severe incidence of déjà vu that was Maine's referendum vote last week to repeal a law allowing gay marriage.
Domestic Violence Awareness Month, October, is geared toward spreading awareness that domestic and sexual assault and violence are serious societal concerns that can affect everyone, regardless of stratifying categories such as race, class, gender, religion, political beliefs and sexual orientation. They are issues that must be addressed. By us. Right here. And right now.
Approximately 16 percent of women living in the United States are reported to have been victims of rape, based on data from the Department of Justice. However, since rape victims often keep quiet about their experience out of fear and embarrassment, it's possible that this statistic is actually much higher. Recognizing how difficult it can be for rape survivors to speak out, Prevention, Awareness and Consent at Tufts (P.A.C.T) will hold its second Sexual Violence Community Forum tonight.
Even if someone doesn't say no, they're not necessarily saying yes.
On Tufts' campus, nearly every student knows that, in the case of physical injury or illness, Health Service is the place to go. Students know where it is located and what it offers. The same cannot be said of the Counseling and Mental Health Service (CMHS). Of those students who know about the service, few could tell you where it is or what it offers. A similarly small number of students could list the symptoms that indicate someone should seek help at the CMHS. This ignorance is more dangerous than it seems. Suicide is the third leading cause of death among 15-to 24-year-olds — it's one that Tufts experienced firsthand a few years ago — and the community cannot afford to stay in the dark about psychological issues or the resources available to address them.
Counseling and Mental Health Service (CMHS) is implementing this year a federally-funded suicide prevention program at Tufts, but its efforts remain in the dark, and many students continue to be unfamiliar with the university's counseling resources.
