Why I did it

"Why’d you do it?” “Why rock the boat?” “And if you were going to do it, why now, more than a year later?” “And why did you let them put your name on it?”

SCORE, eBay style

I was getting increasingly freaked out as my computer clock clicked over to 7:28. Should I click the enroll button two seconds early at 7:29:58 or wait until it was officially 7:30? What if I didn’t click fast enough to get into the lab I wanted and had to cancel and start the registration for the class all over again?

Precept by choice

The fact is that some students get nothing out of precept, while others benefit greatly. Does the school not trust us to do what is in our own best interest?

Friends and family

Princeton has often seemed to me like a sort of big extended family. Like all families, some of the members are a bit odd and a few don’t get along, but for the most part we have enough in common that we generally enjoy each other’s company.

Editorial: A preview of eating clubs, since the Street is closed

As you explore life on campus, one aspect of life here that many of you may have concerns about and which you will not be able to experience firsthand this weekend is the social scene at the eating clubs. Prospect Avenue, also known as the Street, houses nine of the 10 eating clubs currently in operation. For this weekend, though, it will be virtually shut down except for club members. We would like to use this opportunity to give you an idea of what the eating clubs are like and to address some common concerns about them.

Far from home

Whereas the undergrad admission process explicitly selects candidates who would fit well into the undergrad community, graduate admission is based solely on academic criteria. It is probably impossible to try to do otherwise, but it does mean the average international grad students are less well-equipped than their undergrad counterparts to deal with the issues involved.

Opportunities for service

I would like to highlight two worthy service opportunities for juniors and underclassmen thinking about next year. In addition to directly affecting the Princeton community in a positive way, both activities can be found within a five-minute walk from Nassau Hall.
