Thanks for compiling the list! Do you know if you need a student ID to get into the college screenings?

I have never been asked for a college ID and I'm twice the age of the average college student. Only in certain situations do they ask for ID (and it's usually mentioned in the posting).

Also... in the "almost free" category over at MIT, their Lecture Series Committee (http://lsc.mit.edu) runs two films each weekend while classes are in session, usually of the more-or-less popular and current variety. These are (at least ordinarily) officially open to the public and admission is $3. This weekend they've got "The Namesake" on Friday and Sunday and "Shooter" on Saturday and Sunday, both in room 26-100.

When I went to MIT, the official policy was that you had to have a college ID, but nobody ever checked. Now they've apparently changed the policy to fit reality.
