Princeton already provides coverage for hormone therapy prescription medications and mental health counseling.

On a foreign study program or language study abroad, you attend classes with Dartmouth students, live with Dartmouth students and explore a foreign country with Dartmouth students. Despite that language pledge, sometimes studying abroad can feel a lot like studying in Hanover. Holding a job or internship abroad, on the other hand, demands more thorough immersion in another culture. Most immediately, language can present a significant challenge. For Olivia Evans '14, working for the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization in Rome was made all the more complex by the mix of nationalities in her office.

It's hard to use the word "quaint" in earnest until you've seen Woodstock. The two main streets, Central and Pleasant, host exactly the right number of shops, galleries and restaurants to fill an afternoon of aimless wandering.

In a letter to the editor published Friday in The Daily Princetonian, a member of Princeton's Class of 1977 and mother of two Princeton students, Susan Patton advised undergraduate women to find husbands before graduating. To ensure a happy marriage with an intellectual equal, women at elite universities should take advantage of the large concentration of "worthy" men around them by actively seeking out a husband, she said in the letter. The letter was viewed so many times and sparked so much discussion that it crashed The Daily Princetonian's website, New York Magazine's fashion blog The Cut reported. Since being published, the letter has generated responses from The Huffington Post, Slate's XXFactor and Jezebel, among other national media outlets. Patton was among the first classes of women at Princeton in the mid-1970s, and she differed from her career-oriented peers by vocalizing her desire to get married as an undergraduate.

The hats brought personality and humor to Seuss' characters just as they did activities in his everyday life, curator of the hat exhibit Robert Chase said. Guests at the Geisel home were occasionally required to don the most outrageous hats for dinner parties as well, according to the article.

Collis Governing Board has not hosted dance parties or concerts this term, despite receiving increased funding from the Undergraduate Finance Committee in both 2010 and 2011 to provide more non-Greek social events on campus.

The University of Phoenix, an online university, is downsizing in the face of increased competition in the for-profit college sector, legal battles over regulation and negative publicity, according to Inside Higher Ed. The university has made significant cost cuts and closed more than half of its facilities as enrollment has dropped by 31 percent from its peak of 475,000 students in 2010. The drop in enrollment coincides with Phoenix's shift toward increased selectivity in recruiting, aimed at boosting low graduation rates and improving the quality of enrolled students. The university was forced to make cuts when a bubble of unimpeded growth burst in response to a crackdown on for-profit universities, according to Inside Higher Ed.
