There is definitely an orange bubble at Princeton you need to be prepared for. The student body as a whole can be fairly elitist, but definitely very outgoing and friendly. I'd recommend you visit first, staying with friends or going to the event in April for accepted students.

Of course you can't base your choice entirely on rankings, but it's no coincidence that Princeton is the #1 school according to U.S. News & Rankings. Here, the focus is on undergraduates, while at other Ivy League schools, such as Harvard and Yale, more emphasis is placed on graduate students. The engineering department is unparalleled. Professors are collaborative, approachable and most importantly, caring. No where else do undergraduate students have the privilege of working side-by-side with Nobel Laureates and field experts. The camps is beautiful, the food is good (no rave reviews here), and the dorms are like palaces. There is so much pride at Princeton; I can look around the campus and know that everyone here truly wants to be here. Financial Aid is excellent. Basically, if you're qualified, Princeton will find a way to pay for you. The administration runs smoothly.

With demanding school work, tons of extra curricular activities, and a tremendous sense of community at the school, it's easy to not leave campus for weeks at a time. Students tend to forget that NYC is just as hour away. If you tire of eating clubs, you can always escape to NYC for the weekend. It's a wonderful school. Best in the nation.

What an utter waste of time. The quality of education is terrible, the student housing is abyssmal, the food is wretched, clubs and organizations are non-existent, the academic facilities are in miserable condition, the students are mostly dumb and rich, with a few anti-social international students thrown in (the much touted "diversity" is a myth: American and international students barely ever interact at all), and the poor education prevents anyone from going on to a good law, med or grad school (not that many students at PU are inclined to go on anyway). All in all, a very poor school -- stay away!!!!
