Your thermostat must have gone south and also there might be leak in the radiator

it's a common problem in Integras... the top end tanks on the radiator don't hold up too well. I commuted 30mi to UCI for about 5 weeks and didn't have too big of a problem... just stank sometimes I also carried a gallon of water just in case something happened. Just get a new radiator and everything should be okay. How many miles do you have? Mine went out at around 95k. Do a search and you'll find recommendations on replacement radiators, as well as where to get them.
