ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
City College students should also be aware of the occasional zombie outbreak on campus. Often, and through no fault of their own, college students can contract a zombie-like infection.
The majority of City College student zombie sightings happen twice a semester around midterm and final weeks. Exam zombies are easily identifiable by panicked expressions, slow and jerky movements, and bloodshot eyes. These zombies are easily dispatched with a spare Scantron, No. 2 pencil and a reassuring smile. However, different varieties of zombies can be found on campus throughout the school year.
SURVIVAL TIP: THE BEST WAY TO FIGHT ZOMBIFICATION IS TO PREPARE, PLAN AND ORGANIZE. KEEP A CALENDAR, CHECK SCHOOL EMAIL REGULARLY, STAY ON TOP OF YOUR EDUCATIONAL PLAN, AND DO NOT BE AFRAID MEET WITH YOUR PROFESSORS.
