You thought life in the dorms was hard? Try attending college while being homeless. Check out the inspiring stories of three decidedly nontraditional students in “A Degree of Homelessness.”

Plus: The best izakaya adventures to share with your friends, and, the details on a new bike sharing program that’s being tested out in Kailua.
