There is no denying that the Princeton undergraduate experience is luxurious. Free Tacoria seems ubiquitous at campus events. Residential colleges offer free massages during midterm week and free Broadway trips throughout the year. Some seminar classes include trips abroad that are fully funded, regardless of students’ financial aid status. These perks reduce the stressful, overwhelming nature of life at Princeton. But, these luxuries create a sense of entitlement, and alienate us from the vast majority of the world’s population. That entitlement discourages us from pursuing careers in public service.

Recently, The Daily Princetonian created a new metric for assessing Princeton professors’ public profile — how many times more googled a professor is than President Christopher Eisgruber ’83, colloquially known as the Bosworth Score. Considering the correlation of professors’ fame with their teaching and their work, we asked our columnists which professors’ work students should follow. We got recommendations for accounts people should follow on X, formerly known as Twitter, columns to read, classes to take, and podcasts to listen to.

Behind the ivy-covered walls of Princeton’s Nassau Hall, the sounds of construction pierce through the normal hum and drum of everyday student life. Just a few feet away, the new art museum is being built, intended to open in spring 2025. The museum is part of Princeton’s 2026 institutional plan, a campus-wide expansion that aims to improve University infrastructure and increase the student body by 10 percent. Yet, amid mounting restricted areas and swaths of caution tape, Princeton’s quest for rapid growth is becoming a crisis: Construction is widening the existing chasm between student life at the bottom and top of campus.

Correction: This piece has been updated to clarify Princeton’s taxed and untaxed contributions to the town and county, and the fact that it has not acquired a significant amount of new land in recent years. The ‘Prince’ regrets these errors.

Every April, stress abounds throughout campus as freshman BSE and sophomore AB students face the deadline to declare their concentration. They struggle to pick the right department to fit their individual scholarly needs. Yet this stress is unnecessary: career professionals regularly tell college students that their majors do not affect their employment prospects, and alumni from universities around the country increasingly regret their choices in hindsight. So why do Princeton students agonize over this seemingly meaningless decision? More importantly, why does the University require concentrations at all?

During the COVID-19 pandemic, many top universities, including Princeton, paused their standardized testing requirement because of difficulty accessing the test. However, even after the pandemic, many schools have permanently eliminated the requirement to submit a standardized testing score. Princeton has extended its test-optional policy through 2025 while it “assesses the role standardized testing should play in our admission process.” Advocates of a test-optional policy for college admissions claim that doing so increases socioeconomic diversity in incoming classes because lower-income students don’t have the same access to test prep resources that wealthier students do.

Princeton’s campus is known for its history, beauty, and art. Scattered throughout our main campus’s nearly 600 acres are dozens of hidden (or not-so-hidden) gems, pieces of art that make campus a museum in its own right.

Considering the growing political divide in the United States and legislation targeting various intersectional identities, Princeton must ensure that students are ready to productively learn about and discuss the politics and experiences of members of underrepresented and intersectional identities. I took GSS 201: Introduction to Gender and Sexuality Studies during my first year, and the class and its incredible teaching staff had a clear and positive impact on me. GSS 201 should be compulsory for all undergraduates under general education requirements.

In his first lecture of POL 388: Causes of War, Professor Gary Bass described a small number of the horrors of war as detailed by its survivors and perpetrators. He detailed the sight of the transformation of a human body into a mist of blood and guts after being hit with artillery blasts, or the sounds of soldiers dying whilst screaming for their mothers. This instilled in us a sense of the solemnity of our topic. Every time I’ve opened Instagram in the past two weeks and seen my acquaintances, peers, and friends negotiate the justice of war and revolution in Israel and Gaza through infographics, memes, and reposted videos, I think back to this lecture. Then, I contemplate when people began to mistake the figurative battleground of social media for the real thing and began to believe that they accomplished something by promoting rhetoric that demands to be fulfilled in blood.

In the days since the Hamas terror attacks of Oct. 7, which resulted in the kidnapping and murder of thousands, universities across the United States released formal statements with strikingly differing tones. Responses from peer institutions, including Harvard, UPenn, and Columbia, faced widespread press, public and donor backlash, and have been criticized for being relativistic and lacking moral clarity. Princeton’s timely, morally unambiguous response, emphasizing compassion and education in the service of humanity, constituted a stark contrast to those of peer institutions.
