I'm a Yale student, and I just toured Oxford for the first time while studying abroad. I loved the old-school feel on campus and can see myself being a grad student at Oxford one day. When I first toured Yale, it felt like I encountered the sublime for the first time. However, over the summer, while studying abroad in London, I had the opportunity to spend a day wandering around the streets of Oxford and Oxford University. The city leans toward this impression; many shops play into the medieval university feel, which I loved.

Read previewLike most Yale students, I'm swamped. Despite the Ivy League's reputation as one big ivory tower, Yale students still love to throw a good party. Yale isn't a huge party school, but we still have partiesWhen choosing a school, the party scene wasn't very high on my priority list. This wasn't a medieval cloister; it was just what you'd expect from any college despite the Ivy League status.

The year-round population of roughly 10,000 skews older, with a median age of 52, compared with the statewide median of 41. “It’s a place where middle-class people built cottages generations ago and left them to their kids,” said Bart Gullong, 75, who grew up in Old Saybrook, as did his father. And as people retire, they live in them year-round.”The broad avenue that is Main Street is lined with restaurants, shops and specialty markets. Big-box stores and car dealerships dot Route 1, which cuts east-west through town. Residents pay taxes to the town and the borough, which strictly monitors changes to properties in its historic district and limits the times when construction and yard maintenance may be done.

The U.S. is giving away and auctioning off lighthouses across the East Coast and Midwest. The GSA will also sell four lighthouses in Ohio, Connecticut, Michigan and New York in a public auction. But there's a catch: While the lighthouse is free, the new owners will be responsible for the cost of upkeep and maintenance. Warwick Neck Light is located on Narragansett Bay in Rhode Island and is one of the lighthouses being given away for free. Kelly told TIME that there are nonprofits that already maintain some of the lighthouses being offered up this year.

Ideea că visele din timpul somnului pot prezice viitorul a fost parte din cultura oamenilor încă de la începutul civilizației. Dr Julia Mossbridge a dus mai departe aceste cercetări și a făcut recent progrese semnificative. Dacă ar exista un mod de a transcende timpul și spațiul, poate că cea mai complexă mașinărie din Univers, creierul uman, ar fi mijlocul pentru a face acest lucru. Timpul atunci când visăm ar putea fi foarte diferit de timpul în timp ce suntem în stare de gândire logică. În timp ce visăm, am putea intra într-o stare de conștiență în care timpul se comportă diferit”, spune Krippner.
