<p>OMG, i just found something really weird as I was looking through the Princetonian. I won't post it here, because I don't understand the context of the article, and therefore I could unnecesarilly hurt Princeton's image.You can message me and I'll give you the link.</p>
<p>Hopefully somebody will be able to explain exactly what was going on.</p>
<p>post it...and PM me too. This isn't a forum designed to glorify Princeton only. It needs to be a forum that shows Princeton's faults as well (especially for people who may spend 4 years of their lives there), so don't worry about Princeton's image.</p>
<p>"Hey, I was accepted to MIT, Caltech, Nebraska, and I'm looking at applying to UCF."</p>

<p>I'm not quite sure why you would be interested in Princeton at this point, but if there is an article in the student newspaper that disturbs you, send me a PM as well. (I too suspect you may be looking at the infamous 'joke issue'.)</p>
<p>I agree with others here that students should use these boards to get as full a view as possible of each school in which they're interested. There are no 'perfect' schools, only schools that are 'nearly perfect' for particular students. The secret is in finding the right match. Visiting each institution (if possible) is a great way to do that.</p>
<p>Searching the archives of student newspapers is also a good way of getting to know colleges but I would encourage students to browse a large number of issues to get an accurate sense of each place. Start with the first issues from last September and take a quick look at the headlines for each issue over the course of this school year. Picking out individual articles can leave the reader with a very distorted view of every campus.</p>

<p>thanks for the kind words. that's exactly why i was looking through the princetonian. more specifically, i was trying to see if there was any significant amount of crime on any of the ivy league campuses.</p>
<p>I suspect that this was from a joke issue, because no one in their right mind would seriously write something like this and post it publically.</p>
<p>just pm me and i'll give you the link. i already sent it to 3 people = )</p>
