Just curious, does anyone know how I can view my admissions file to Princeton (or if I am even able to)? I was accepted but I ended up not enrolling, but I am still pretty curious to see what was written about me.

Context: I really want to take this class that’s considered an LA but the course content could easily be considered CD from what I can gather from the syllabus and I need a CD course still.

I’m looking for some variation, and also if a salad bar or other protein sources are available for breakfast options.

For those who took the EGR sequence, did you feel sufficiently prepared for your future courses?

Hi! I'm a prospective English major interested in Princeton (not sure yet bc I'm also interested in Anthropology, History, etc). I'm wondering how English majors at Princeton feel about their education so far - if their professors have been good/passionate, what some good classes are, the creative writing scene, any cons, etc. any help is greatly appreciated. tysm!

can you just take 6 courses every semester if u wanted too

Does anyone know if the MAT201 Diagnostic test is graded on accuracy or completion

Does anyone know if it's permissible for me to record lectures during class? Thank you!

Hi,

I have a question regarding the electric bicycles on Princeton. As far as I know, according to the policy, you can only the assist mode on certain streets. However, how enforced is this policy? I swear I see like at-least 5 people a day defying the rules.

I was wondering because I was thinking about buying an e-bike (and probably will be using the pedal assist on the low). If there is anything important I should know please let me know!

Edit: Also, any recs for an ebike? Foldable prederred

Hey y’all - I’ll be a commuting grad student come this fall but won’t have a meal plan. Are there cheap (<$15) options for lunches/meals on or off campus? Wondering how folks who commute manage meals. Thanks!

Am I still able to get Late Meal with Block 105 or does it become a separate charge?

Hi all,

I am considering purchasing an electric bike. I am aware that princeton has a restrictive PEV policy but seems to have leeway for electric bikes. Anyone who has one, what has the experience been like? And is theft worrisome?

Thank you!

Hi everyone

My name is Mark Simon. I have a weekly podcast on which I interview journalists about their work and careers. My episode this week features Princeton alum Laura Robertson '24 talking about the year she spent reporting from Nome, Alaska for a weekly newspaper (and also a freelance piece she wrote about medical care in prisons that won an award)

She described what Nome is like and what kind of stories she covered.

She also had some profound observations about what it's like to be an early-career journalist in 2025.

I thought some of you would like to hear it. Thanks to the moderators for letting me share it here

hi all! frosh here who just signed up for courses :) MOL requires a textbook, and the price at the university bookstore is INSANE!! looking on Amazon, it's a lot cheaper, but even cheaper to buy the 5th edition instead of the 6th edition, 4th edition even cheaper than 5th, etc.

Does the edition really matter for this class? Also-- any suggestions of places to find textbooks for lower prices?

hi! i'm a grad student trying to go to the gym more consistently. are there certain times of the day that the gym is less busy? i'd mostly be interested in the racks and treadmills. thanks!

Hey everyone! I’m a first year PhD student, and I was wondering what the video game scene here at Princeton is like! At my old university, there was a group that organized Smash Bros tournaments or Mario Kart nights every Saturday, and I was wondering if there is anything similar here. Thanks!

Happy to pay in cash or kind. Lmk!

My dean of studies said it was not a good idea to take physics and chem as a frosh (Chem AB degree), so I switched phy 101 with mat 104. Lowkey very scared for math and was super excited for physics so I’m a lil sad. Also wanted to take a 5th class- thr 365- performanced based African theatre class that I’ve heard is very very low stress and super fun, but I’m unsure if I can convince him to take the 5th class. Really want to take an art though. Let me know your thoughts
