Day In The Life of a Princeton Student

In this video, I take you through my whole day at Princeton! This semester, I’m on campus, and although things aren’t back to normal yet, it feels great to be here rather than at home. All my classes are virtual but lots of aspects of Princeton’s campus are open such as the libraries, gym, center for the arts, and dining halls!
I hope you enjoy this day in the life video!

It amazes me how similar this day was compared to how I remember my freshman year at Yale 57 years ago. The images match almost exactly my dorm room, my view out my dorm window, my dorm hallway, my dorm bathroom, my dorm stairs, including the degree of wear on them, my college buildings, my snow. I studied about the same way, replace Trustees reading room with a more old school Linonia and Brothers reading room, but very close. A nostalgic rush is shooting down the back of my neck. I give it five stars.

Class of 1999 representing! This video is giving me all of the feels. It makes me miss campus so, so much.

[@Jen-nh7yw]

I saw a video where there was a "Yes!" in the sidewalk. Do you know why? Are they all over the campus?

[@CharlesJosepDelDotto]

@@Jen-nh7yw The "Yes!," which to the best of my knowledge appears in only one place in the sidewalk, is a tribute to the late Fred Hargadon, Princeton's dean of admissions from 1988 to 2003. The acceptance letter of every admitted student had "Yes!" as a header and was personally signed by Dean Hargadon, who supposedly knew and remembered all the details of every admitted student's application.

Solely based on the topic of your Spanish class, if you have time you may like Netflix's Time in Between. It's the life of Sira, a dressmaker consumed by the love of a man, left the turmoil of Madrid prior to the Civil War at Tangier, where she inadvertently becomes part of an espionage scheme. It's all in Spanish, it's really interesting 😁

Roughly how maybe classes/ lectures do you have per day?. I’m in a small university in Ireland and most days I’ve got 6-8 lectures back to back between 9am-5pm, all 50 minutes long. No idea where I’d find time to rewrite notes or go out for lunch. I’m a 1st year/freshman studying Sports Physiotherapy
