Princeton's Creative Writing Really Enjoys Making Students Stand in Line

Recently, you may have seen this video of Princeton students waiting in a long line at New South to sign up for Creative Writing sections:According to the official Princeton Facebook PR, this is just another awesome example of how amazingly popular these classes/professors are, and how enthusiastic students at Princeton are!Am I the only one who finds this a little... ...Depressing?Luckily, this video was shot during a signup session where students were allowed inside the building. In the past, they've kept us queued outside in the freezing NJ cold for several hours. I once arrived at 6:30am...and I wasn't even the first in line. (Note: many of these students aren't waiting in line to get into a course-- they've already gotten in.)While I understand Creative Writing's desire to honor a first-come-first-serve system for signing up for the in-demand professor you want, there is something else--something better-- we could do. I'm told it's called "the Internet." But it seems, in true writerly form, Princeton's CWR department is determined to do it the old-fashioned way.Circa 1930s, to be exact.
