Princeton is a relatively open campus. Pretty much anyone can walk in and out and enjoy its lawns, gardens, events, and if left unsupervised, even classrooms. There’s so much free space and so little supervision, that over time, students and townies have taken over and transformed them into their own little worlds. The Friend Center, where I take an engineering lecture, is one of those worlds. During the day, it is used for classes, but at night, it is the headquarters of the Jersey Japes, a group of competitive Super Smash Bros gamers.
