Street's top 10

Rules from Miss Manners' Guide to Princeton

1. Do not Facebook poke: it is rather uncomfortable for the pokee. For goodness sakes, just friend them!

2. For lack of a better farewell, 'Good luck!' will always apply.

3. No formal event should occur without a symbolic, if empty, exchgange of cigar and flowers.

4. If you spill your beer, apologize! You never know who you just royally pissed off.

5. Throwing your rear-end against the prox-reader looks as idiotic as it is ineffective.

6. When meeting friends for Late Meal, be sure to order a salad and sit at a table that can't logically coordinate the group.

7. Confusing the Eton and Harrow is almost as devastating as mixing up Oxford and Cambridge.

8. Telling your freshman year roommate, "Let's get coffee sometime!" will keep the relationship afloat until graduation.

9. Getting into T.I. at night is harder than getting into Princeton, so accept your fate with grace.

10. Remember the thinness of dormitory walls: Your neighbors may not share your taste in music, cinema or hobbies.
