“I think the most common reaction is ‘Oh, I didn't know there were exchange students [at Princeton],’” said Jihyun Lee, a student from the University of Tokyo studying in the Department of East Asian Studies for the fall. “There's only 19 of us so I think it's kind of natural that [Princetonians] react that way.”
A post on X (formerly known as Twitter) gained traction on Dec. 7, sharing the names and positions of those in Princeton University’s Office of Diversity & Inclusion.
First-year student Sophia Jones, a devoted ballerina remembered by family and friends for her love and affection, died on campus on Wednesday, Nov. 29. She was 18. A prospective molecular biology major and a member of Yeh College, Jones was a lifelong dedicated and passionate dancer who had a love for animals, teaching, and hoped to pursue pediatric medicine after graduating.
The debate over whether electric scooters should be allowed, familiar on campus, is continuing beyond FitzRandolph Gate.
University administrators have set the goal of decarbonizing our campus by 2046. To do so, the University has rolled out a sweeping operation to install a complex geo-exchange heating and cooling system, build out thousands of solar panels, replace the old bus stock with brand-new electric buses, and purchase electricity from renewable sources. The University thinks of these campus solutions as test cases that, in the words of President Christopher Eisgruber, “serve as models for the world.” To build on these successes, the University should now turn its attention to the rest of its vehicle fleet.
Wendy Wang ’28, an international student from Shenzhen, China, told the ‘Prince’ that her initial reaction to receiving her acceptance to Princeton was, “AAAAHH!!!!!!!! Princeton is a dream.”

While the rest of campus was busy preparing for finals, on Dec. 13 men’s basketball (10–1 overall, 0–0 Ivy League) decisively took down the Division-III Bryn Athyn Lions (8–2 overall, 3–0 United East) in a 92–40 blowout win. Later that evening, a defensive masterclass powered women’s basketball (8–3 overall, 0–0 Ivy League) past in-state rival Rutgers (6–8 overall, 0–1 Big Ten), 66–55.
When I was in kindergarten, I could answer the question, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” much more easily than I can now as a college junior. At six years old, I would blurt out “Archaeologist!” before my teacher could finish the question, but as a 20-year-old, there are a few long pauses before I say something along the lines of “I’m still figuring that out.” Yet this indecision should not be seen as shameful — nor should any other career choice. Judging others for how they choose to pursue what they’ve learned at Princeton post-graduation is an intolerable endeavor and is antithetical to our values as a campus.
Campus Club, as students know it today, is a forum for student groups to convene for Undergraduate Student Government (USG) study breaks. But the site where students sip on Coffee Club seasonal lattes was once a tap room, where members and their guests danced into the early hours of the morning. The dining room on the first floor where students gather with friends to pore over problem sets was once where Campus Club members assembled for meals.
On the evening of Nov. 4, a deluge of paper airplanes, balloons, and Yale transfer applications were launched from every corner of the Richardson Auditorium. The items converged on the performers onstage — the Princeton Glee Club — as they sang the Princeton Football Medley. The assailants? None other than the Yale Glee Club. Meanwhile, the audience erupted in gasps and eager chatter.
Two major fellowships, the Marshall Scholarship and the Schwarzman Scholarship, released results on Dec. 11 and Dec. 13, respectively. While four Princeton-affiliated students won the Schwarzman scholarship to study at Beijing’s Tsinghua University, no Princeton students were among recipients of the Marshall Scholarship.
With winter break approaching, students across campus making plans, which often include traveling back home, staying on campus for Wintersession, and visiting friends across the world. For some international students, however, these plans are often arranged much earlier in the semester, usually around the time the final exam schedule is released. The Daily Princetonian spoke with five international students to see how and when they plan for winter break.
“Half the class is not from Practical Ethics,” someone said behind me as I sat down in the second row of a nearly full McCosh 10. They were not wrong — I, like many, had come to see Peter Singer, the 24-year Ira Decamp Professor of Bioethics, in his last lecture of his Princeton teaching career.
“What are you going to do with your degree?” This skeptical question is all too familiar to most humanities majors. As the perception of the humanities as useless disciplines proliferates, their numbers rapidly decline: The number of history majors has decreased by 45 percent since 2007, and English has plummeted by half since the mid-1990s. But data indicates majoring in the humanities doesn’t limit students’ future options. Moreover, we should reject the notion that choosing a major is primarily a profit-maximizing decision. Liberal arts education, and liberal arts degrees, are inherently valuable because success is more than affluence.
