Goodbye Prefrosh, Hello Reunions
Monday, 30 April 2012
by Abby Klionsky
The University hardly waited for the prefrosh to leave before they began setting up for Reunions, plural, with a capital R. Expect to start seeing full fences go up soon, making it impossible to take shortcuts (unless you’re particularly good at hopping the ten-foot-tall wooden blockades meant to keep strangers out and beer-wielding alum in).

by Dana Bernstein
Preview weekend round 2 has now come and gone. Already forgotten how awesome it was? Here’s a video of the prefrosh exiting Richardson Auditorium at Alexander Beach (lesson number one, prefrosh: Alexander Beach is not an actual beach) Thursday afternoon. If you watch long enough, you can hear them blasting “Call Me Maybe” on the

Prefrosh Get A True Taste of Life at Princeton: Firestone
Thursday, 26 April 2012
by Ellis Liang
Wait, are prefrosh starting to realize that every weekend at Princeton isn’t like Preview? That probably explains why a bunch of them streamed into Firestone Library this afternoon, hoping to get a taste of real Princeton life–living in the library. But apparently, the librarians at Firestone were way ahead of them. They decorated the library

IN PRINT: On prefrosh impressions, and undocumented students at Princeton
Wednesday, 12 May 2010
by Angela Wu
The most recent issue of the Princeton Alumni Weekly has two articles that shed some light on what life at Princeton is like. According to some pre-frosh, the world outside Fitzrandolph Gate thinks we are “squares,” with “windswept hair,” “weird shorts,” and “boat shoes and everything.” This may in fact be true. More serious, but

When the prefrosh weather machine breaks down
Tuesday, 13 April 2010
by Will Saborio
The prefrosh are coming this weekend, and in recent years, the little kiddies have enjoyed absolutely gorgeous weather. For those of you who don’t know, the weather was so consistently amazing on these preview weekends that people started suspecting Shirley Tilghman kept a weather machine for the occasion. I mean, we’re talking brilliant mid-70s sunny

Go Away Prefrosh
Tuesday, 14 April 2009
by Brian No
You know it’s that time of year when the University erects a ridiculous circus tent on Alexander Beach, ruining pretty springtime vistas and impeding your drunken walk home from the Street. That’s right: hundreds of earnest and overeager 18 year-olds are about swarm all over campus and there’s nothing you can do about it. The
