<p>Do most students at Princeton take more than the 31 courses needed to graduate? </p>
<p>Also, how hard is it to become a writer for the Daily Princetonian?</p>
<p>During my visit at Princeton, they said anyone can write for the paper. There are editors, etc. to help you write it, but if you submit a story and they like it, then they will use it.</p>
<p>It’s really easy. Just sign up, and they’ll put you in the news room. You’ll spend around one afternoon and night there a week. You start out as a contributor, then get promoted to staff writer, then to senior writer (usually at the end of sophomore year). Obviously if you’re bad they won’t keep you, but it’s really hard to get rejected from News (or Sports for that matter). Getting on the Opinion staff is harder.</p>
<p>Oh, sounds good. But do a lot of people at Princeton take more than 31 courses by graduation?</p>
<p>I don’t know if this is what you want to know, but the engineers apparently take 36.</p>
