Asians and international Asians at Princeton

<p>Do they blend in well as a group with the domestic students? I always get the feeling that, as an Asian + International, I would be doubly disadvantaged in terms of social acceptance in a US college. It's really quite intimidating especially when there seems to be such a strong revulsion for supposedly "nerdy" and "smart but no life" Asians even on CC. How about at Princeton?</p>

<p>It will be completely up to you at Princeton. If you join a diverse organization - singing group, dancing group, social service, newspaper, debate, you will be completely integrated. If you join an eating club the same thing. If you join only the Asian students organization and then spend most of your time at the libraries, or the E-Quad (engineering), you won't be. I am not at all saying it isn't hard to integrate. It requires work. But nobody will be trying to exclude you.</p>

<p>This is true at all top US universities and all of them are trying to solve the problem. The 4-year residential colleges are Princeton's latest effort to bring the students together across ethnic, national, or economic divides.</p>

<p>also, it seems to me that they try to mix up freshman year roommates in terms of backgrounds.</p>
