    Is it just me, or is Princeton the college campus that has the least "college town" feel to it? I lived there two summers in a row while attending UNC-Chapel Hill the rest of the year, and the contrast was stunning. Chapel Hill was a true college town where anything went. Princeton felt like it was full of incredibly rich pre-yuppies who didn't partake in all the usual college rituals. I mean, a college town with no thrift store? No funky dive bars? What?


    Of course, Princeton Record Exchange ruled, so I spent all my time there, but still. I visited the radio station at one point, just to see what it was like, and the person working there assumed I was a musician arriving for an on-air interview. I think it was because I was the only person in town wearing an outfit that cost less than $500.

    @Snakeophelia: I went to Chapel Hill also and was thinking there the townies sold you drugs or were the hookers and rentboys. Some of the latter were amazingly hot. School days...

    I hope NYU sets up discard tents, so I can score PBRs, guyliner and dog-eared copies of Jane Austen and the Goblet of Fire.

    I love how that photo could pretty much be 1983, 1993 or 2003. But if that is a "pro-life" organization, maybe not?

    @BookishLookish: Their styles are definitely adaptable to several decades of bad fashion. But it looks like they are in DC, so I am going to guess that the banner is for the "March for Life" and not some super pro-alma mater sentiments.

    Where I come from, underage Townies wander in packs armed with assault rifles. They drink a thick liqueur distilled from car batteries and train feral dogs to attack baby strollers and Volvos. God help you if they see or smell a college identification card or a syllabus; you'll be torn limb from limb in seconds.

    I'm a college kid in Milwaukee. The friendly neighborhood homeless sleep huddled together outside my apartment and the church next door, and in the morning, I get woken up around 5 a.m. by people searching through the dumpsters outside my bedroom window. My apartment may not have heat, but on a blustery Wisconsin winter night, its still waay better than Don-the-homeless-Vietnam-vet's broken down cardboard wind-shield. I say stop trying to "experience" homelessness, and do something about it.

    When I was in college, Ramen noodle hadn't been invented. We made do with plain ole spaghetti. Without any sauce. We didn't have to pretend poverty.

    This takes me back...


    In my undergrad years, the trendy empty gesture was building an unsightly little knot of shacks on the quad as an anti-Apartheid protest. No one actually LIVED in the shacks; they just sat there when they should have been in class, and none of them seemed to realize it when they "won" and the university embraced divestment.
    Those damn shacks are probably still there.

    Be as superior as you like, Nolan. I know what it's like to be hungry, to be sick, to be tired, to have no money, to have everything in your life be thrice mended. Because me, I play Oregon Trail as the farmer, motherfucker.

    2nd time today I was certain that Gawker was just posting on Onion articles.


    This is even more ridiculous than those 'My Homeless Week' exercises. many of which are quickly cut down to 'My Homeless Day, and Homed Warm and Cozy Night.'
