<p>Finally. A college I can afford! : )</p>

<p>Bring on the applications. The rhetoric is priceless.</p>

<p>For those that don’t get the obvious joke - read the disclaimer at the end " This article is a part of The Daily Princetonian’s annual joke issue. Don’t believe everything you read on the Internets."</p>

<p>Yes, the headline subtitle and some of the language in the article clued me in to the joke. First I checked to make sure today’s date isn’t April 1st.</p>

<p>Just think about it though – Imagine if Princeton really did this. Can you imagine the increase in the number of their applications!!!</p>

<p>I don’t know. Sometimes people only think they’re getting something of value if they pay a lot for it.</p>

<p>Read the bottom!</p>

<p>This article is a part of The Daily Princetonian’s annual joke issue. Don’t believe everything you read on the Internets.</p>

<p>Yeah, but think of what they’d charge for books!!! :D</p>

<p>Or fees, for everything from heat and hot water to electricity!!</p>

<p>It’s too early in the school year for a humor issue. When I was an editor of our campus paper we made it the last issue of the year: publish the issue, take finals, get out of town. Ask me how I know the third item in that list is the important one.</p>

<p>The kids at Princeton are in the middle of finals right now. Yesterday was what they call Dean’s Date. The day every paper for every class in the first semester is due. The student government put up a huge banner between the Frist Student Center and the largest lecture hall, McCosh. Ir read, simply, “RUN!”.</p>

<p>Exhorting everyone to run to get their papers turned in on time…</p>

<p>AS for getting out of town, last year the joke issue included the infiamous joke article on Asian admissions. Even though the editor at that time was an Indian guy from Canada. I think this year they may have wanted to avoid anything like that.</p>
