<p>"But I think that my love for this place is best captured by what I've only just discovered: the feeling that I know a million and a half people. I know of no other campus where everyone seems to know everyone. My friends at other schools have their balkanized cliques; they atomize in their freshman year and never really seem to engage beyond their core cadre of acquaintances. But here, as you amble gently over the well-manicured lawns and pleasantly stroll through the bucolic scene, you're bound to run into someone you know. Sure, it can lead to myopia at times (freshmen and sophomores, do your work: Your GPA is more important than the social contacts you're making with your casual robo partner), and the "everyone-knows-everyone-else's-business" vibe can make the campus feel like a Jane Austen novel.</p>
<p>"But that's also part of Princeton's charm."</p>
