Since I'm a senior this year, I'm spending a lot of time working on a thesis. The exact form of the thesis and the time frame in which students complete it vary a lot between departments,…

Last spring semester, I attended an information session put on by Princeton’s Fellowship Advising about the Rhodes Scholarship. The session described Oxford as a good place for postgraduate study,…

I ended last post about classes with a little illustration of studious note-taking.  Image…

I love languages, and I even went on a Global Seminar through Princeton to Geneva to study how communities respond to linguistic diversity. One of the most surprising pockets of linguistic diversity…

I never realized sticking so staunchly to my major would compel me so strongly to go outside of the box. I can sometimes be a one-track kind of person, and as such every semester I’ve taken a…

One thing I love about Princeton’s campus is its proximity to Nassau Street. Nassau Street is just outside of FitzRandolph Gate, the University’s main gate, and it’s speckled with cute shops and…

The bright hours of a given day is the time when fears are abated, work is done and things illuminated.  Light is the metaphor for intelligibility, knowing and comprehension, though too much…

“As I wandered in this place with fearful wonderment, I said to myself  ‘No human being appears to the eager sight, no forest or woodland creature, no beast, wild or tame, no rustic house or…

To be called “coach” is an opportunity and an even bigger responsibility. The basketball court is my classroom, our student-athletes the front line. They are the ones playing with Princeton across…

The buzzer sounded, and I jumped in the air as my teammates rushed the court. We had just defeated Green Bay for the first NCAA tournament win in the history of our program. A sea of orange clad…

The other day I walked into work with 66 bananas. Why? Because the night before, the team of people I work with at Guria had rescued 66 people from slavery in a brick kiln, and we were hosting them…

The weekend of Feb. 27 to March 1 has remained one of the most formative experiences of my sixth semester. With a group of 18 students and two administrators, I traveled to Brown University for the…

After what has doubtless felt like a long spring, March 31 has finally come and gone. For many of you, this means that you now know where you’ll be headed for college. A lucky number of you will be…

As a sophomore in the A.B. program at Princeton, it was time. This spring, my inbox has been flooding with emails detailing how and when I will declare my major and enter the newest stage of my…

Congratulations to everyone recently admitted to Princeton! You probably have some big choices to make this April, and I sympathize, since I have just completed making my own decision about where to…

Last we left off in this awesome chapter of my education, I had told you all about my class on "Olmec Art", which I started taking because of my job at the museum. (Speaking of the museum, I’m giving…

Ayudo y enseño a los estudiantes porque entiendo la importancia de animar y guiar. Como una estudiante de universidad de primera generación, yo sé que solamente unas palabras simpáticas de consejos…

Este es mi compañero de habitación, Jacob, y yo.  Vivimos juntos en un cuarto individual convertido a un cuarto doble en el colegio Whitman y esta publicación es una reflexión breve sobre…

Para la mayoría de los estudiantes internacionales en Princeton, la experiencia de estudiar en Princeton es muy diferente que de los estudiantes estadounidenses. Soy de la India, y estas…

One of the most common questions I am asked is about Princeton's competitiveness: Are students here extremely competitive, or do they collaborate on their work? This was also a very important…

Hey prospective students! I'll keep this one short and sweet.  Come to Princeton.

In the past two years I have been at Princeton, I have worked at 4 different jobs. Most of these jobs were posted on JobX — our website for student employment opportunities — and ranged from working…

Of course Princeton is one of the best places to be, but sometimes you just need a break from the hustle and bustle of the Orange Bubble. My favorite thing to do in this situation is take a trip to…

Heads!  Check it!  Weigh enough!  These were all words I was vastly unfamiliar with before joining Princeton’s Varsity Rowing team. To a rower, these terms give vital directions to…
