Princeton University is seriously a great institution. I'm currently pre-med, and can easily say that we cooperate a lot despite grade deflation. You will run into the occasional jerk, but most people will be extremely happy to help a fellow student in need. Faculty are great, and almost beg students to see them during office hours. My chemistry professor has begged us several times in lecture to take advantage of his time. The social scene is very fun, although I do admit to subscribing to the drinking culture. Certain people might dislike the street (like three of my suitemates). Believe you me, they have absolutely NO trouble finding things to do instead of drinking, and they love their time here as much as I do. If you're a downer and only see the negatives in your surroundings, I'm sure you can find plenty of things that are wrong with Princeton. However, if you open your eyes, Princeton has more positives associated with it than most other places in the world. Seriously, I'm not getting anywhere near a 4.0 and still wouldn't trade my spot here for anything.
Faculty Accessibility: A+, Scholastic Success: B

These were by far the best four years of my life. I loved being challenged in my course work. Exams, papers and problem sets were never about regurgitating information read or received in lectures. Instead, all independent work was an opportunity to acquired knowledge and determine how it could be applied to novel situations. More than anything, this approach develops your critical thinking skills. My social life was great. Everyone I knew was involved in multiple activities. The often maligned eating clubs were actually a great way to go out and know how to run into everyone you know. Students weren't competitive with each other so much as with themselves, which lead to great study groups. My only wish is that there would have been more support and one on one time with professors in humanities courses for non-majors.

I got a tremendous education from Princeton. This helped me in getting in to the best graduate programs in the country and getting an initial job offer in the middle of grad school. But, I think Princeton, along with a few other schools, offers more than just an education: it provides horizons and contacts. It helps sets one's sights high: I left wanting to be the best in the world in my field. And, the contacts one acquires are remarkable. My friends in senior positions in many areas (Deans of Law Schools, Private Equity Partners, Heads of Non-Profits, Medical School Professors, etc.) and they all come back every 5 years for reunions with the fondest feelings about the place.
