margrett Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 To emphasize, if you're an international student, buy a good coat, snow shovel and enough bags of salt early on to last for a few months (because local stores may run out of it). This past winter, NJ experienced a lot of snowfall and who knows what next winter will bring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phdforsuckers Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 I'm also curious about who my roommate will be next year. Does anyone know if we can find out before moving in? I wrote to the housing office a few days ago but got no response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anttna Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Hi everyone. I'm coming from the UK to do Physics at Princeton. I have a room in the NGC, I'm hoping they will feel bigger than the 10x11 ft the floor plan suggests! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epsil119 Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 I'm also curious about who my roommate will be next year. Does anyone know if we can find out before moving in? I wrote to the housing office a few days ago but got no response. Here's a trick I used to find who my GC roommate was (since housing never did tell who my roommate was): 1) Go to http://search.princeton.edu/search.pl 2) Search for yourself so that you can find the phone number of the GC room that you are assigned in 3) Now search for that phone number to see if anyone else shows up Not sure if it still works but you can give it a try. Also I did this in August; not sure if new graduate students have been added yet. mewtwo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The phone numbers aren't up yet, but will make sure to do this as soon as they are posted . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mewtwo Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Quick update: the phone numbers are currently available on the directory, but you cannot search using them. I'm considering spidering the directory to try to make a searchable database. If anyone wants me to find their roommate, feel free to PM me and I'll try to see if I can figure it out for you =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwanttowinanobelaureate Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 So does anyone know about the social life at princeton for graduate students?? I have been curious and all because princeton is quite a small town. I have never studied in a small town before having lived and studied in major cities in several continents.

iwanttowinanobelaureate Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 And also what do the Graduate students do for fun or are they bogged down with all their research. While I do like research I dont want it to be a 24/7 commitment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reid Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Hey everyone. I'm looking forward to studying with you at Princeton! I'm in the NGC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
