Am I making a huge mistake?

<p>Thank you so much for the replies and the information!</p>

<p>I do have another question: I visited Columbia one Monday (it was really nice out) and people were out on the steps, there was music playing, etc. Then we drove to Princeton. We got there around 4 or 5 and the campus was deserted. Was it just too late in the day or is that generally the feeling/atmosphere on campus? There were a lot of people around on the Preview days but I don’t know it that was just because it was a special event.</p>

<p>Thanks again! I really do appreciate it!</p>
