Dive Summary:
- Princeton University offered up free houses earlier this year to anyone who could take care of hauling the buildings away, but the school has yet to find any takers.
- According to Princeton spokesman Daniel Day, the school has received about 1,000 inquiries about the buildings, none of which have resulted in final deals.
- Day indicated that the people inquiring—who have come from as far away as Haiti—have been confused about how mobile the buildings are.
