There have been lots of health care changes in the past few months. Yesterday, they got even more local. If you are on the Columbia health care plan, like almost all of you are, you are covered by Aetna Student Health. Aetna is the company that makes sure you don’t have to pay a lot of […]

If you are in Morningside Heights right now and have nothing to do, or something okay-not-great to do, go to St. John the Divine to listen to people play the piano. But wait!
