Princeton University Top Questions

it's good here. the school funds tons of really good events and lectures, and some of the lectures you may go to will at some point humble you. no matter what you choose to do in the future, you will take away with you a much greater and deeper appreciation of the world and its infinite subtleties.

Overall I am enjoying myself at Princeton fairly well. The classes are actually harder than I even anticipated, the competition gets very annoying at times, and the social life gets monotonous, but there are so many other aspects to Princeton that save it in my eyes. The diverse community, the limitless programs and organizations designed to introduce and support all cultures and activities, and just the ridiculous amount of opportunities to do some amazing things really helps take the edge off the workload.

- Best thing about Princeton is that you get an amazing intellectual experience by taking small classes with amazing professors and other smart, involved students - Social life is fun but kind

In my opnion, I could not imagine spending my 4 years of college anywhere other than princeton. Princeton had everything that i needed and more. My only regret was that I did not have enough time to take advantage of all that the school and city had to offer. Its suburban campus, with proximity to NYC and Philadelphia was ideal.

The academics are amazing- teachers both give to the classroom and look forward to taking away. The town is quaint and quiet with some nice restaurants and ice cream. The peers are challenging and intelligent. Princeton is a great size- there are enough people walking around who you know, and enough who you don't know to get you excited.

The size of the school is great, and the town is well suited for the school. The administration seems to have the students best interests in mind but have recently made life for all students much more difficult with their grade deflation policy. I would say this is one of the most frequent complaints about the school, along with the alcohol and drug policies being too strict. People tend to think that the kids that go here are just amazing people, but the only qualification to be accepted is that you're intelligent. The school certainly has its share of self-centered and egotistical kids, and the sense of entitlement is at times overwhelming.

Princeton's size is ideal - there are just enough students to make studying here dynamic and fun, and to justify ridiculous expenditures on everything from student plays to bizarre scientific experiments. Princeton spends about $90,000 a year on every student, and it really spares no expense in making sure that you can achieve what you want to do. The town is a little quiet, but "the Street" which contains the eating clubs brings everyone together and is, perhaps surprisingly, a unifying rather than divisive social factor. New York is a short train ride away, and overall social options are diverse. The administration is a bit autocratic, enacting some changes with little to no consultation. Overall, though, Princeton is a school that prides itself on not denying its students anything.

The best thing about Princeton are the academics and the professors. I have loved all my classes up till now and its easy to get to know your professors and get in contact with them. I would change the rigidity if the courses offered, they are very straightforward and its very hard to find any slightly creative, original classes. great college town, there are delicious restaurants and nice shops.

The campus is incredible. Residential college system is great for freshmen and sophomores.

The best thing about Princeton is the amazing campus, the incredible academics, and the its proximity to New York. If I could change one thing, I would put up a bunch of bars that didn't card. The biggest recent controversy is Juicy Campus.
