Princeton University Top Questions

The worst thing about Princeton would be the amount of money it costs to attend. If you do not qualify for much financial aid it can be a huge burden on you and your parents to come up with the money to pay for your education. Loans may seem reasonable but just remember that you will be paying them back for many years after you graduate. I suggest finding as much outside money, via grants and scholarships, as you possibly can

There are a number of cultural clubs/groups on campus which can increase the likelihood that certain cultural groups will hang out mostly with members of their own race/ethnicity (this is not a blanket statement, however--plenty of people from different cultures are great friends and share in new experiences). Also, personally, I like the eating clubs but there are downsides to these party houses. Even though one certainly is not pressured to drink if he or she goes to one, the eating clubs seem to separate friends who drink from those who do not.
