<p>I thought this was interesting, yet bizarre. Any explanations or thoughts from the Princeton crowd?</p>

<p>That’s way cool.</p>

<p>Cool article. I was printed in 1998; I wonder what the stats look like after seven years.</p>

4

<p>Probably about the same, unless the social life and culture of Princeton (i.e. eating clubs?) has changed considerably.</p>

<p>“People here either have no interest in the opposite sex, or they just don’t know what to do.”</p>

<p>lol.</p>

6

<p>where is everyone? its not like the princeton board to be so inactive… :stuck_out_tongue: seems like our posting habits have equalizied with our sexual habits, hahahah</p>

<p>speak for yourself ;)</p>

<p>For what it’s worth, here are the results from a survey done on the website point.princeton.edu, which is a new portal site this year that many students use:</p>

<p>How many people have you hooked up with at P-ton?</p>

<p>None: 31%
1: 17%
2-4: 22%
5-9: 19%
10-20: 8%
Lost count…: 4% </p>

<p>There were only 385 votes, by the way.</p>

<p>hooked up doesn’t necessarily mean sex.</p>

10

<p>sex doesnt necessarily mean hooked up</p>

11

<p>whoa
(three blind mice)</p>

12

<p>So less Princeton students have even “hooked up” (69%) than Yale/Penn students have actually had sex? It just keeps getting weirder.</p>

13

<p>i dont get the blind mice think…but i must admit i gaffawed (sp?) at it nonetheless</p>

14

<p>yeah, everyone at the school is a prude.</p>

<p>/sarcasm</p>

15

<p>Not everyone, mzhang23… and they could just be less attractive at Princeton instead of more prudish. :)</p>

16

<p>naww…Princeton chicas are muy bonita ;)</p>

17

<p>Agreed. (Self-complimenting? Me? Never…)</p>

18

<p>is there anything thats NOT perfect about Princeton? ::sighs::</p>

<p>what can they do if i just suddenly show up one day and start going to classes? they’ll be FORCED to enroll me, no? hehe, i bet this is the kind of “outside-the-box” thinking that Princeton appreciates…i shall immediately set out for Jersey</p>

19

<p>if you bribe a clerk in the housing you could probably get a room addignment and become a student by default… lol, not really, I wonder when they would find out</p>

<p>Its too bad for the article though… I’m a bit dissappointed to tell you the truth, Why is it that so many pton alums marry that only a small amount of them “hook up” at college??? I dunno… anyone care to share thoughts</p>
