    There is no way I would have been able to afford to come here if it hadn't been for Princeton's amazing financial aid program. It's one of the best--if not THE best--in the country, and features no-loan aid packages for everyone. Every penny you get from the University is grant, which means... NO DEBT!! If you get in, give Princeton serious consideration, and don't worry about the money! No matter what your situation is, the University will make sure you can afford it. (But don’t stop looking for outside scholarships: trust me, even with great financial aid, they are still a huge help.) And if you do decide to enroll, let me assure you that whatever you have to pay, Princeton is more than worth it. This place will blow you away. read full review
