Earlier this year, a new fitness regime made headlines. Broga — a yoga class taught by men, aimed at men.
Last Wednesday, students across the world carried their mattressesto support Columbia University student Emma Sulkowicz and to raise awareness about sexual assault on college campuses.
Last week, I saw "Dear White People," a movie that follows the adventures of a group of black students at Winchester University, a fictional Ivy League school.

This past month, Princeton became the first town in New Jersey to earn a place in the World Health Organization’s global network of “age-friendly” communities.
Many narratives comprise the “Princeton experience,” but perhaps what is most often cited is the idea of the Orange Bubble.
The University spoils us in many ways: from late meal to endless T-shirts to extended library hours.
A few days ago, after spending much of fall break recovering from the waves of pre-midterm stress, I was finally coherent enough to talk with some fellow classmates about the tests, what we thought of them and how well (or poorly) we thought we did on the exams (we may or may not have also taken bets on how low the curve would be).

Weaving in and out of pedestrians, jumping the curbs and flying down hills, I was making my way from Rockefeller College to Jadwin Gymnasium in record time.
For those attuned to matters outside the Orange Bubble, you may have heard about the recent controversy surrounding the National Football League and its handling of the Ray Rice case.
Professor Max Weiss has never met Slav Leibin. Obviously. If he had, he would have understood that Leibin, the Jewish Agency Israel fellowat the University's Center for Jewish Life,was acting in a purely advisory capacity when he pointed out that Weiss’s support ofthe Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movementis at odds with the CJL’s Israel policy.
