I can say with absolute certainty that the best thing about Princeton is the people. This place is home to thousands of fascinating individuals with ridiculously diverse backgrounds, interests, and personalities. One of the things I love the most about my school is that you are constantly learning--not just in class, but outside of class, too. Make no mistake, you will learn a ton in the classroom, but just as important is what you will learn from your classmates and the stories they tell. In only one year here, I have become familiar with cultures that...

    I think Princeton University would be a good fit, but seeing as how I am only a freshman in high school I can not go to Princeton yet. It sounds as though Princeton has a great atmosphere and most of the people are just all around good people. It would be fun to be able to go to their campus, look around and meet a few people.

    I am really excited about attending this school. What helped me make my decision is the fact that Princeton has an undergraduate focus. They offer time and resources to undergraduate students that you won't find at every university. :)

    Princeton is a group full of wonderful, highly motivated kids. The teachers are very helpful and welcoming, allowing academic success to be feasible. The diversity found on campus makes it possible to learn outside of the classroom.

    Princeton is an extremely welcoming school with excellent professors, students, and faculty members. I am wrapping up my first semester here, and I have had the time of my life...I really wish that time would just slow down and I could be here for the rest of my life. It's a work hard, party hard kind of place.

    Princeton was my life dream, two months in I have no doubt I made the right choice. I have met so many unique, passionate, and amazing people. My classes are very challenging, but engaging and fun.

    Princeton is a very academically-oriented university, with a rich tradition of excellence. It's located in beautiful Princeton, New Jersey, and is a small college of only 5,000 undergrads. Its academic program has been ranked first in the US, and its many clubs and activities allow students to pursue exactly what they want.

    Princeton is, in a few words, one of the greatest universities in the country. Absolutely everything is top notch - the professors, the campus, the students, even the food. It can be an extremely tough environment, but totally worth the work.

    When Princeton says that it focuses on undergraduates, it really does--from a new state-of-the-art Frick Chemistry Lab to study-abroad seminars, Princeton offers a wealth of resources to students. Also, I've had so many opportunities open up for me just because I go to Princeton, such as studying policy in Asia through a scholarship program and shadowing a counsel for WNYC.
