Hi everyone! I certainly miss the area. I lived in the condos between Costco and the BMW. I accidentally had a pretty expensive car part shipped to my old condo in NJ, while I am living in NC. I don’t know anyone in the area to check but I was able to schedule a package pickup with FedEx. However, they went to pick it up and the package is missing.

I am not really sure what to do? Should I call the police to report it missing and maybe they can talk to the new owners in my condo? The shipper does not have the package as it was not returned to sender.

My fear is that someone stole it, opened it, couldn’t figure out what it was and threw it away. It is an older car I’m rebuilding and a strange part and it was very difficult to find.

I know it is my fault because I had thought I updated my address to my new one already.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

Hello!

Available from now until Nov 15th (2 weeks), I have one furnished bedroom/private bathroom in a shared house available in Princeton Junction, located on a quiet street and a couple minutes drive to university or Princeton Junction train station. Great for those new to the area and need a place to stay temporarily, or those temporarily in the area for work. No smoking, no pets, no couples/families, no frequent guests over. Free access to washer/dyer, wifi. All utilities included. DM me for a video tour! $40 per day or $500 for the entire two week.

This TAPintoPrinceton article by Carolyn Jones was pretty good, although I find the local streetlights are pretty dim compared to my hometown, and sense there are many incidents & close calls after dark.

I want to hire someone to check in on my cat while away. Do you have any recommendations for a reliable pet-sitting service in the area?

Just trying to get an idea of the timeline.

The female/nonbinary math gatherings? The most recent info I've found are all from 2022.

Just fyi if you live in NCW/Yeh, you can get to firestone or EQuad faster by taking the Lakeside bus (same way going back)

As a bit of background info, I'm a third year computer engineering student that goes to RIT but I'm working in the area for a co-op internship just for this semester (Living just off the edge of campus too, so I've poked around a little). I've heard the stories about you guys having a pretty rigorous academic schedule that kinda cuts your free time in half, but I was wondering if there were clubs or anything on campus where people come together to play music or just jam out? I play guitar and like to think I'm alright at it, playing alone for an hour or two every day can get a little boring though. On an unrelated note, you all have a beautiful campus compared to the brick cubes and wind tunnels that I'm used to up in Rochester lol.

too many mixed answers

Hi, I just wanted to ask about the music scene at Princeton? Specifically Princeton Pops? Are they still around? There's virtually no social media presence, and if there is it's pre-Covid.

Hello everyone, I got an offer for work and have to move to Princeton NJ in 2 weeks. I had a few questions and need your help:

1. How and what source would you suggest for finding apartments? ( My office is in Rocky Hill and if possible I want to stay near my office so commute is easier)

2)How is the public transport? Do buses go around the office area mentioned in the previous question.

3. If you have any tips or suggestions please feel free to share!

Thank you and I’m looking forward to my stay!

Has anyone been reading about the endowment returns? Princeton's were dramatically worse than the other peer institutions. The press release focused on the fact that at least endowment wasn't shrinking as it had the last two years. What's up?

A quick eyeball of the S&P shows that the index increased by about 20-25% over the three years between June 21 and June 24.

Does anyone have any recommendations for driving schools near the Princeton area?

Hi all!

My husband is working at Princeton (Physics department). I was wondering if I could use the practice rooms, how can I access them and where are they located. I know there's a music department but I'm not sure of where all the practice rooms are located. p.s - I play violin.
Thanks for your help!

Hi, I’m a 17 year old male international student, who plans on applying to Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Dartmouth,Brown and Cornell, among others, next year. So I have done my research, and on every schools website I see, that financial aid is meant to cover what you acc CAN pay. My Dad is really worried about this not being true, and him and my mom having to stretch themselves to pay my fees. My parents can’t even come close to paying the schools fees of any of these schools to be honest. The css profile form asks for so much specific information, so I do think it should know that my parents really can’t afford to pay much. So I need to know that if I do get in, because I’m directing so many of my efforts towards applying to top schools in the US, will my parents actually be made to pay what they CAN pay without it being a heavy burden on them.

So i've recently read some work by a staff at Princeton and I wanted to learn more and ask some questions about their work to them, what would be the best way to contact them? I have their email, but I'm unsure whether or not I would get a response considering they are most likely very busy, are there other ways to contact staff at Princeton?
