A Foolproof Flowchart for Friendless Freshmen
Monday, 17 February 2014
by Matthew Silberman
I know what you’re thinking: your first semester at Princeton is already over, and you still don’t fit in. As various activities have taken over your schedule, you and your fellow freshmen have lost the friendly attitude of your first weeks here. These days, your social circle is limited to the few friends you see

A New Frontier? Pluses and Minuses of Flying Out of Trenton
Saturday, 15 February 2014
by Spencer Parts
In November 2012, Frontier Airlines opened up service out of the Trenton-Mercer airport, a mere half hour drive from the Princeton campus. A Midwesterner searching for low airfares, I happened on Frontier’s low fares last month. I knew little about the airport, but I could not resist a $39 flight, so when I needed to

Out and About: the Prefrosh Activities Fair
Sunday, 22 April 2012
by Dana Bernstein
Hey Princeton! The prefrosh activities fair was hoppin’ on Friday afternoon. It was a sea of orange lanyards, Princeton drawstring backpacks (why didn’t we get those last year??), and, of course, the overwhelmed prefrosh. Oh, and a bunch of crazy people yelling at the prefrosh to join their club/activity/sports team/[insert group here]. Here are some

Hide and Seek with Princeton Gargoyles
Wednesday, 18 April 2012
by Abby Klionsky
Hey Prefrosh, As you visit campus this weekend and next, we know you’re going to be impressed (and overwhelmed) by all the things they tell you in info sessions, by the theater, dance, a capella, and comedy groups you see perform, and by the general neatness and tidiness of your hosts’ rooms (maybe not). But

Beautiful Day in the Bubble
Thursday, 08 March 2012
by Abby Klionsky
Disclaimer: this post is intended for people who didn’t make it outside today (read: people who still have gastro, and seniors with looming thesis-draft deadlines). If you did go outside today–and enjoyed it–make sure you go outside tomorrow, too, because it’s supposed to be even nicer. We didn’t have much of a winter to complain

Five Roommates in a Quad
Friday, 02 March 2012
by Abby Klionsky
Athena is likely the youngest junior on Princeton’s campus. She’s eight months old and only joined the Princeton community four months ago. “But Princeton doesn’t take transfers, let alone babies,” you might say. And you’d be right. But Athena is neither—Athena is a kitten, and she’s not really allowed to be here. The Housing website

Evaluating the course evaluations
Tuesday, 14 February 2012
by Charlie Marsh
We’re about a week into classes, which means some of you are probably considering whether or not to drop out of that fourth, fifth, or sixth course. And based on last semester’s course evaluations (available now on SCORE), odds are I can bet what those courses are—or at least, what department they may be in.

Residential College Review: Whitman Edition
Tuesday, 30 August 2011
by Giri Nathan
Ah, Whitman, the newest of them all, whose neo-Gothic arches and towers we owe to erstwhile eBay honcho/gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman ’77. From an aerial view, the college forms a “W”, said to be in her honor (definitely apocryphal). It’s no eyesore from the outside. Though Whitman does seem to be aping the time-earned classiness

Residential College Review: Wilson Edition
Monday, 29 August 2011
by Julia Bumke
While most argue that Wilson is pretty much the bottom of the barrel in terms of residential colleges—prepare yourself now for snide jokes from those bums who live in the castles upcampus—there are a lot of factors that contribute to Wilsonites’ steadfast pride. An unbeatable location, lots of singles, great party-ready suites, and computer clusters

Residential College Review: Butler Edition
Sunday, 28 August 2011
by Alice Su
Telling people that you live in Butler inevitably leads to the follow-up question: “New or Old?” Butler used to have a reputation for being the worst res college to live in, with legendarily horrible waffle ceilings, a long trek to central campus and only meh-worthy food. But all that changed in 2009, when Princeton introduced

Residential College Review: Rockefeller
Saturday, 27 August 2011
by Angela Wu
Congratulations! If you knew what you were doing when you signed up for housing, you made sure to mention your long-standing love of fireplaces and your strong desire to have three roommates. And now you’ve been handed a ticket to two years in Rockefeller College, home to Holder Hall and the Spoon turret rooms and
