    "Lot's of happenings by the tree, the river, the sculpture, and The Rock.Get together with your crew and paint The Rock. Win some swag if you tell us how many layers of paint are on The Rock."

    While it may not be the best place to relax in the winter, you will find large groups of students relaxing on the grass facing the Charles River. This is about as tropical as it's going to get!

    People-watching/ book-reading during springtime on the WARREN ALPERT MALL (the WAM!) will serve you far more than attending an afternoon class, arrange your spring schedule accordingly.

    Meet me for passion, art, play, dreams and love on September 21. The New Repertory Theatre’s Classic Repertory Company is doing Shakespeare’s "A Midsummer Night’s Dream" here. The fun starts at 8 pm.

    Can you guess how many layers of paint are on the Greek Rock? Dean Elmore put out a challenge in May 2010 for the closest estimation. The winner took home the actual amount in Blow Pops -- 1,717. Read more

    Time to paint the Greek Rock! Make sure to schedule a time with the Derby Chairs and show your stuff. May the best artist win!

    When it's nice out, and it's already packed, beware open patches. You're about to sit in the middle of some game of frisbee, baseball, or football. Duck.

    It's even better at night: sit on the bank and look at all of the pretty lights reflect off the Charles...especially from the Hyatt Regency.
