Smoking

Students smoke as stress reliever

It’s 9:50 a.m. and class just got out. A little less than half the class head towards the door and pat themselves down in search for the pack of smokes of their choice.

Heavy Rain

Heavy Rain storms onto PS3

Every now and again, something comes along that redefines and advances a given medium, regardless of genre. For example, Orson Welles Citizen Kane released in 1941, is regarded as the greatest movie ever made. I'm not saying that Heavy Rain is the Citizen Kane of gaming, but it's definitely a step in the right direction.

Transfer blues got you down?

Here at Solano Community College many students put time and effort into their classes with a common goal in mind: transferring to the four-year college of their dreams.

Meal ideas for under 5 dollars

Dear TalkToMe,

 I have about an hour lunch between my classes and have to grab food then. I usually try to spend 5 dollars or less on my lunch because I do not have a lot of money. It is hard to figure where to eat because of this. I have heard that Solano Community College has food, but I do not know if I want to eat here. What can I get at the Solano cafeteria that is under 5 dollars? What places are close to the school that have lunch for less than 5 dollars?
