Alcohol

I do not hyperbolize when I say that ethanol, or what we have come to refer to as alcohol, is a significant component of the American college, and therefore the Princeton, undergraduate experience.

We students need to take some responsibility with regard to alcohol in order to create an environment that aligns fun with reasonable precautions for safety.

Dartmouth president Jim Yong Kim announced a Learning Collaborative on High-Risk Drinking on May 2 as the inaugural effort of his National College Health Improvement Project. Princeton is one of 13 colleges to have signed onto the project, with seven more expected to join before June.

There is at least one community on campus that will welcome anyone who wants to join it, yet, in a way, is extremely selective.
