In the months leading up to my move to New Jersey, my family was constantly anxious that I would be so far away. In the summer I had before leaving home, there were always questions of “what if something happens, and we can’t get to her?” or “what if she needs us and can’t get back home?” I told my family that everything would be fine. I was just a flight away, and if I truly needed to get home, I would.

Who is who in the class council campaign? No one really ever knows.
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.
After 25 years at Princeton, Keith Whittington, the William Nelson Cromwell Professor of Politics, announced that he is leaving Princeton to teach at Yale Law School at the end of this academic year.
In the men's soccer team's last home match at Roberts Stadium and final non-conference match, Princeton men’s soccer (4–6–3 overall, 1–2–2 Ivy League) took on the Fordham Rams (6–2–7, 3–2–2 Athletic 10) on Tuesday evening. With four lead changes and late goals from each side, neither team came out on top as the match ended in a 2–2 draw.
As tens of thousands of high school seniors vie for a spot in Princeton’s Class of 2028, many will be accepted through their Nov. 1 early applications. For the Class of 2024 — the class with the most recent publicly available early admissions data — nearly half of the students were accepted through early admission. Early action (EA) acceptance rates are considerably higher than those for regular decision (RD) at every Ivy League institution: early commitment clearly increases a student’s chances of getting into top schools. But the nature of restrictive (or single-choice) early action (REA) processes, like Princeton’s, offer that benefit to only a privileged collective. In order not to disadvantage and dissuade applicants who need more security in the college process, Princeton should adopt non-restrictive early action or, at least, return to its pre-2008 early decision (ED) program.
For the second consecutive year, the University endowment has experienced an investment loss.

This October, when the Arizona Diamondbacks and Texas Rangers meet, Mike Hazen ’98 and Chris Young ’02 will go head-to-head on Major League Baseball’s (MLB) greatest stage: the World Series.
Harvard, Yale, and Princeton have often been described as the Ivy League’s “Big Three,” a term coined in the mid-1880s to refer to the three of the country’s best football teams. Today, the “Big Three” label has evolved to signify academic prestige, rather than athletic prowess. Currently, they place third, fourth, and fifth, respectively, in total Ivy League football championships.
