When Bollywood met Princeton
Sunday, 03 October 2010
by Angela Wu
Princeton isn’t exactly generous when it comes to Hollywood (or reality shows)–filmmakers first have to go through the Office of Communications if they want to use the Princeton name or film on campus. But some movies have made the cut. Most recently, scenes shot at the university have been featured in blockbusters like Transformers 2

Need a break?

The New True Prep
Tuesday, 21 September 2010
by Ellen Shakespear
In her 1980 bestseller “The Official Preppy Handbook,” Lisa Birnbach defined the prep as someone who had a classic outlook on life and a classic wardrobe to match. You might think that thirty years later, and with the economy in the tubes, a manual on all things preppy would be of no use to you.

Friday, 25 June 2010
by Will Saborio
That up there is Shirley Tilghman, President of Princeton University. Opposite her is “Dick Van Buren” ’10 (who asked we change his name for this article). In the photo, DVB is icing Shirley Tilghman. This is his story. But, let’s backtrack for a second — if you haven’t yet heard of icing, well, I guess

Sunday, 13 June 2010
by Giri Nathan
Get Him to the Greek didn’t do much for me. But it may have jumpstarted a new comedy career — I mean, to the extent that six syllables can jumpstart a career. In one scene, Russell Brand’s woozy rockstar character makes a Today Show appearance, and he is followed by none other than our own

Sunday, 25 April 2010
by Abby Greene
Farewell, days when driving meant a texting hiatus and an inappropriate time to put both hands in the air when dancing to your favorite tunes. If you’ve ever wished your car could just, you know, drive itself, you may soon be in luck. The Princeton Autonomous Vehicle Engineering (PAVE) group is, by their estimation, less

Ever wonder what Princeton would look like in a German infomercial? We hadn’t either. That is, until we saw this video, which refashions Princeton as a German clothing store:
