More than 100 students from colleges closed by Hurricane Katrina's destruction have enrolled at AU to salvage their semesters, greeted by special accommodations and a week of events to raise donations for disaster relief.
Moviegoing isn't cheap these days. If a student's going to shell out precious cash for a flick, there should at least be a way to make a night out of it. Get to know the most popular movie theaters in the area and what else there is to do in the neighborhood by checking out The Scene's recommendations for dinner and movie, D.C. style.
As a freshman or new student on campus, its probably pretty obvious the food choices are slim. After scoping out TDR and the Tavern, and walking through the tunnel while appreciating the convenience of the Eagle's Nest and McDonald's, the realization there isn't much else hits hard.

However, just like the female residents of South Side, "Doom 3" looks good, but in many ways lacks the substance that separates Miss New Jersey from Miss America.

1. Walk the monuments Remember freshman year, when you went to see the monuments at night 37 times in three weeks? It's time to venture out again. This time, go during the day. The experience will be dramatically different; the paths will be peppered with pink blossoms gently waving in the spring breeze, not with shady nighttime characters loitering around the reflecting pool. Furthermore, the outing screams "perfect afternoon date."

With its energetic spirit and upscale artiness, Dupont Circle is just a few stops down Metro's Red Line and one of D.C.'s most vibrant neighborhoods.
