<p>Does anyone here know who is the student at Princeton who started the newspaper or newsletter on the Middle Ages. My son attended the recent Humanities Symposium at Princeton and this student spoke during the Senior Round table. Medieval Studies is the area that my son is interested in concentrating, and we are just trying to compare the Medieval Studies programs at the different schools. We realize it is just a concentration and not a major at Princeton.</p>
<p>Also, can someone tell me, who doesn't get drunk on weekends, what your typical weekend is like at Princeton? My son's host during the symposium brought him to the video game club (during the down time), which was nice of him, but I know there is a lot more to Princeton.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>People who don't get drunk on weekends can choose from one of the incredible diversity of student music, dance, and theater productions, see top, national- and internationally-known entertainment of all sorts at the McCarter theater, or have dinner on Nassau Street (including various Indian, Chinese, Thai, Italian, steakhouse, and other options). They can go to the movies, either right next to campus at the cinema right on Nassau, which shows quality first-run films, or take a bus or drive to one of the nearby multiplexes on Route 1. They may watch videos in their dorm or hang out with friends in a common room with a glass of wine and talk. In the daytime some students tailgate at sporting events, others go off campus to participate in Outdoor Action hiking trips or Pace Center community service. Some leave campus altogether for debating trips, etc. </p>
<p>People who don't get drunk on weekends can still go to the Street to play pool, talk, dance, and hang out. Keep in mind that students don't tend to go to the Street until pretty late at night, after they've done one of the above things. And the Street, aside from one infamous club, is mostly not about getting drunk; lousy beer, and not that much of it, is served there. Students who are determined to do that generally "pre-game" in their dorm rooms with hard liquor before they go out to the clubs. Some go to NYC. </p>
<p>I know quite a few students who are not interested in getting drunk and who feel very much at home on the Princeton campus, including at the eating clubs. Princeton students are very involved in campus life of all sorts and very supportive of one another's activities. The only difficulty, as I've said here before, is that there is far more to do than anyone can manage in four short years.</p>
<p>"aside from one infamous club"</p>
<p>Which one? Terrace?</p>
