mtvU is MTV Networks' Emmy & Peabody-winning 24-hour college network --the largest and most comprehensive media network just for college students. The heart of the channel is the emerging music college students live their lives to, including music videos and a range of series profiling the up-and-coming acts bubbling on the college scene. All of mtvU's programming is short-form -- no show is longer than the length of a music video -- and it encompasses everything from the best student-produced content, national and local college news, student-led pro-social efforts and series like Stand In, where global icons ranging from Nobel Laureate Elie Wiesel to Don Cheadle and John McCain to Madonna surprise-teach a class for the day. mtvU is also an incubator of student talent, offering tomorrow's top musicians, filmmakers, activists and digital pioneers exclusive opportunities to launch their careers.

Keep Your Bettas Happy!
Hopefully all of you are taking good care of your new Betta fish for those who got one and it is still not living in a cup right now. Despite myths that claim Betta fish like small environments because it is what they are used to, it is false! Betta fish like living in roomy places just like all other fish. Tomorrow is the day of the Reel Big Fish Concert. While your all getting hyped up, why not get your fish hyped up by getting it its own tank and food? Below are a few helpful links to help you understand and better take care of your fish.
For those of you who missed or need a little something to help show the greatness of the concert:
