Freshman Year.
The Class of 2025 arrived at a campus newly in-person after a year of virtual Princeton. The return was far from normal: Tornadoes and flash flood warnings rocked the first week of classes, and there was daily COVID testing. Still, 2025ers prevailed in the fall, celebrating the football team’s victories over Yale and Harvard with a bonfire — the only one of their time at Princeton — and showing up memorably for A$AP Ferg’s Lawnparties performance.
The look of the main campus started to change as the Class of 2025 arrived. When they got to campus, the old Princeton Art Museum was on its way out. While art museum construction has progressed with the graduating class, it will not finish with them: the new museum is now set to open this fall.
The Spring 2022 semester showed that the class was engaged with some of the international issues of the day. Princeton students and faculty joined in protests against the war in Ukraine, and the following month, students voted on a referendum calling for the University to halt its use of Caterpillar machinery in its construction projects.
