Princeton,
like many descriptions of the Hindu goddess of creation/destruction-Kali, is
many things to many different people. It is a
truly challenging experience in that one tends to be surrounded
by fairly bright, individuals who have a great deal of
ambition. Socially, in the late adolescent, early adult years
that tend to be indicative of the character-to-be of the
student(s), Princeton offers the odd, somewhat outmoded construct of the
Ivy League private eating clubs. These represent a sub
rosa manner of allowing students to believe that they are
making their first real choices of whom they will snub
or with whom they will bond. Although not officially
ordained by the school; the strange ritual of 'bickering' and
developing new neuroses to take with you for the next
20 years of your existence, is essentially maintained and supported
de facto, if not de jure, by the University community.
This only makes sense though, when one considers that
(when I was in school) there is/was little else that
a student of limited means could seek out for entertainment
in central New Jersey. At least little that was
safe and legal. The academics are excellent. Athletics
are fine for 'club sport' enthusiasts and upholders of old
school east coast basketball styles, involving quaint notions such as
selflessness and placing the good of the many above the
interests of the few or the one. Bill Bradley
meets Mr. spock, if you will. Overall, as I suspect
American educational experiences are geared at the end of the
20th and beginning of the 21st centuries, Princeton is a
valuable commodity and terrific opportunity—probably a 'best buy' on a
number of levels. Just remember: caveat emptor.
