<p>as seen from above</p>
<p>arent there quite a few college students at the Wilson school?</p>
<p>woody woo undergrads, yes; woody woo grad students, no.</p>
<p>Without the “eating clubs”, where can the grad students socialize and meet other of their kind?</p>
<p>Byerly is incorrect. Grad students do not join eating clubs.</p>
<p>“Without the “eating clubs”, where can the grad students socialize and meet other of their kind?”</p>
<p>1) The D-Bar at the Grad College</p>
<p>2) Frist Campus Center</p>
<p>3) Pub nights at Chancellor Green cafe</p>
<p>4) Any of the myriad social, cultural, and intellectual events organized by the graduate residential life staff</p>
<p>5) In town</p>
<p>6) At departmental functions</p>
<p>7) At the “High Tables” hosted by the Dean of the Graduate School</p>
<p>8) Sometimes, they even take the initiative and have each other over for drinks or dinner. Not all interaction has to be mediated by the institution.</p>
<p>They also, like other residents of Princeton, have easy access to cultural and athletic events in NYC and Philadelphia.</p>
<p>“8) Sometimes, they even take the initiative and have each other over for drinks or dinner. Not all interaction has to be mediated by the institution.”</p>
<p>Indeed. What would Harvard students do without their beloved “fun czar”?</p>
<p>Hmm. Others have reported that social life for grad students at Princeton is rather dreary. the undergrads - or at least the more socially desirable fraction of them - do, after all, have the “eating clubs.”</p>
<p>To add to hbarns groups.</p>
<p>All the student faith based activities.
I won’t compile a list but the campus provides a smorgasbord of religious groups.</p>
<p>Hmm. Others have reported that social life for grad students at Harvard is rather dreary [see Turow, “One L,” et al]. the male undergrads - or at least the more socially desirable fraction of them - do, after all, have the “final clubs.”</p>
<p>I don’t believe that is true at all. Cambridge, after all, is “America’s Greatest College Town”.</p>

<p>greatest college “big city,” you mean, and then only when boston is considered part of the package. according to your rankings, dartmouth’s hometown of hanover is actually the greatest college <em>town</em>, with princeton just behind at #2.</p>

<p>the undergrads - or at least the more socially desirable fraction of them - do, after all, have the eating clubs. A curious statement. Half of the eating clubs are sign in, and any undergrad who wishes to join an eating club will be offered a place in one, whether they are socially desirable or not. As for the selective bicker clubs, more than half of the students who apply will be admitted. Overall, about 70% of students join the eating clubs. This Side of Paradise is a good novel. It is not Princeton today.</p>
<p>so that means in every class there are 400 “bicker” (snooty) “eating club” members, and 400 rejects?</p>
<p>Its ok byerly. We still love you … Everyone feels insecure at some point in their lives <em>rubs your shoulders</em> … </p>
<p>just curious- by what you’re sayin- wouldn’t there be 80 “final club members” (extremely snooty) and some 1400 rejects at Harvard? or would that be 700 rejects since women are banned or otherwise discouraged to apply or accepted in such small numbers you’d hardly notice them? </p>
<p>And you call us snooty?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Are we forgetting that former undergraduate student government president (Leslie-Bernard Joseph '06) was not a member of an eating club his senior year? Certainly he is among the socially undesirable, then?</p>
