Excerpt: Recently, Princeton University announced a policy that would require members of eating clubs and co-ops living in University housing to buy a second meal plan, costing about $900 a year. I, along with all the other members of the Graduate Interclub Council (GICC), believe that this policy would be disastrous for Princeton’s undergraduate experience.
When I went to my 50th reunion, I realized that what makes Princeton so outstanding in compariosn to other highly raknked colleges is the people I got to know there.

What is an Ivy League university? The simplicity of the question is deceiving. Everyone knows what Harvard is. Except increasingly, no one does – not the students who attend, and certainly not the administrators who shape the institution, thereby answering that question every day.

Excerpt: On Friday, Nov. 7, 2025, Sunrise Princeton, alongside the Princeton Progressive Coalition, organized a rally of more than 100 demonstrators. We called on the University to act as a leader by defending life-or-death climate research, divesting from weapons manufacturers to end the genocide in Palestine, protecting immigrants and international students, and safeguarding academic freedom in a time when rising authoritarianism threatens progress across the world.
As a lead organizer for this rally, I learned an important lesson: Princeton students care a lot about progressive change, and are willing to publicly display their support because they’re optimistic that their actions can make a difference on a policy level. They just feel like they’re too damn busy.

When I went to my 50th reunion, I concluded that what made Princeton so special is the people I got to know there. .
My membership in Cap & Gown Club significantly enhanced my life at Princeton. I got to know the members of the club much better than most of the other students in the college. Membership in the club led to making many friends and learning from them. If I had been required to pay for the University meal plan in addition to payment to the club, I would not have joined a club. My time at Princeton would not have been as rich. In some ways, it would have been hollow.
