Last week, Georgetown sophomore Charley Cooper made national news with a job listing for a personal assistant. He’s 20-years old and apparently the whole college affair all too much for him to handle on his own.
According to Vox Populi, the Georgetown Voice’s blog, the original as [...]

This week, Princeton got a lot less heteronormative—even if certain students still can’t pronounce “heteronormative”—with the introduction of a gender-neutral housing option.

The adjective “Dickensian” is exactly three syllables too long to describe the typical Harvard application essay. Not so for that of Khadijah Williams, who overcame homelessness to be accepted to the class of 2013. (Finally, someone who won’t complain about being Quadded.)
In spite of her [...]
Today’s Crimson featured a neat little open letter from Bradley Smith, founder of the Committee for the Open Debate on the Holocaust. Yep, it is exactly what it sounds like. A group that questions the existence of the Holocaust.
Bradley Smith, the founder of the organization [...]

Brown is the douchiest school in the country, according to GQ. Princeton is number three. Harvard is number four. Does this seem wrong? Keep reading, Deep Springs grads. It gets worse.

We’ve got the station wagon packed and Igloo full of beers. Meanwhile, those lucky freshman moving into the lauded zip codes (02138, 06520, 08540, etc etc), have their own road trip to sort out. And the Senate Finance Committee is doing whatever they’re going to be doing to make sure [...]
The Daily Beast recently profiled Katie Kitamura (Princeton ‘99), whose debut novel, The Long Shot, is out this month from Free Press. Although the Beast pokes fun at the “young Asian ballerina” who wrote a novel about MMA, or ultimate fighting, they can’t help but [...]
Lately, everyone’s been going on about how they wish they could hate Nick McDonell, Harvard ’07, whose third novel, An Expensive Education, came out earlier this month. They want to hate him, interestingly enough, for the exact reasons they want to hate the Ivy League: rich, [...]
