With graduation looming, members of the class of 2011 may be grappling with their imminent new roles as “real” people. While the College doesn’t necessarily provide definitive guidance for this, it does provide graduates with an identity in relation to itself: alumni.
As an alumnus of the College, the resources available to you are different than [...]

Living with people is like cleaning out your fridge. It’s all about compromise.
In our house, the ceremonious purging of our refrigerator is an affair, a debacle of debates of expiration dates and “does this smell edible?” It is also an inconsistent monthly — bi-monthly if we are feeling particularly adventurous — event. On these [...]

You’ve waited two long years for this. Languishing in your dormitory, lamenting how you can’t, yet, partake in the exotic world known only to those older than 20. You’d sit by your window — this scenario doesn’t quite work if you have an indoor Eickhoff room, though you probably do your fair share of window [...]

Five Lions of the men’s outdoor track and field team achieved record book status Saturday, on the second day of the New Jersey Invitational hosted at the College. The 10-team event, the first home meet of the season, proved to be an impressive showing by the women’s and men’s [...]

As a College student — and a human being — I find myself confronted with the illogical on a daily basis. Yet, this is a fairly liberal-minded place, I think. Generally speaking, the College population is accepting — in the past it’s banded together against close-minded outside protestors flailing bibles and preaching hate and supported [...]

To resign the lease or to not resign the lease? It’s a question that comes with sentimental and nightmarish baggage. Remember the horrible battle with pests? The draft that prevents the house temperature from exceeding 65 degrees? The absentee landlord? The broken … everything? What could possibly chain you to this place, when you know [...]

Three months after a fatal collision involving 2010 alumnus Joseph Martin and a delivery contractor for The Trentonian, the College and a campus fraternity may face a multiparty lawsuit, according to the tort claim notice.
Florian Smith’s widow filed the notice of her intent to sue on Feb. 28, according to township attorney Maeve Cannon, against [...]

The world was your oyster between 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m., the wondrous hours where you were granted the options of not only eating at Eickhoff, but three other dining locals, for “free.” Oh, how glorious meal equiv was … in theory. After moving off campus, you’ll learn that real options (non-Sodexo options) open with [...]

With great technology, comes great responsibility. Or, for some people, the ability to send nude photos to all their friends.
According to nj.com, the New Jersey Assembly passed a bill Monday that will allow first-time “sexters” to participate in an educational program rather than face prosecution, granting teens a chance to avoid blemishes on their [...]

When you live on campus, changes in season mean different clothes. Maybe a hat, an umbrella, colorful boots. Off campus, it can mean being trapped in the house or not being able to take a shower because the pipes froze. Being prepared for these changes is important to your ability to function and your mental [...]

Our favorite bands have the dual capacity to inspire and bitterly disappoint us.
My affair with Bright Eyes began a few years ago and has been less an interest than an obsession. Few artists have been able to capture and sustain my admiration as Conor Oberst. Unsurprisingly, his voice hasn’t been the primary luring factor (though [...]

In a joint lecture on March 1, former presidential candidates Ralph Nader and Jesse Jackson dared College students to rethink the American political order in the verbiage of veteran activists.

Within a run-down motel room in Oklahoma, the lives of two individuals are unhinged. The room, host to a microcosm of humanity, conveys the duality of fear — the terror of loneliness and of never being alone. Strangers, who take solace in each other’s existence, become infested by fear, infected by the knowledge that they [...]

If you live in a house usually rented to students, it’s likely that you don’t live in a palace. And your house probably isn’t well insulated, which will likely translate to one horrible discovery: You are not alone.
No, I don’t mean anything of the paranormal variety.
Even if you are a conscientious cleaner, pests can become [...]
