What I have gained from the humanities:
The humanities are a source of community both on and off campus, not only in an academic setting but especially outside the classroom. Whether through classes I’ve taken or in extracurricular music groups, the humanities have given me both the most interesting discussions and the closest friends I’ve found at Princeton.
Independent work:
I wrote my first junior paper on a fragmented Sappho poem, first suggesting what the original might have looked like and then using that example to discuss how translators can work with incomplete texts.
