What was the best movie of 2017?

No, it’s not “The Last Jedi.” The movie that I’m calling the “Best Movie of 2017” and one of my all-time favorites is “Baby Driver.”

With six regular season OAC games left on the schedule, the Ohio Northern men’s basketball team is right in the thick of things in the conference title race.

Northern is one of four teams that now have a realistic shot at the conference trophy -- and all are within one game of each other at the top of the OAC standings. John Carroll and Marietta are both 9-3 in the OAC, while Ohio Northern and Baldwin Wallace are both 8-4. Each team has six regular season OAC games left.

Another semester is well underway, and if you stumbled last semester, you may have doubts about how to be successful this semester and the mountains of work coming at you like a high-speed train. Freshman, senior, or anywhere between, here are some lifesaving college survival tips and a life jack to keep your head above water and save you from drowning.

This semester, one Ohio Northern athlete each week will be featured as the Northern Review ‘Athlete of the Week.’ Sports editor Grant Pepper will talk to each athlete briefly about what they do in their sport as well as in the classroom, and the videos will be posted here and on the Northern Review’s Twitter page: @NorthernOnLine.
