Atmosphere

<p>From my visit and what I've read, my impression is that it is kind of like a rich white boarding school. Please correct me if I am wrong. How would you describe Princeton?</p>

<p>haha have you ever stayed over night?</p>

<p>its crazy diverse and really really awesome</p>

<p>they have everything there</p>

<p>2009 no's: 35% minority, (ivy-best) 55% on financial aid.</p>

<p>ranked third among 26 elite universities, and first among the ivies, in the journal of blacks in higher education's ranking of leading american universities on their success in integrating african-americans.</p>

<p>Diversity is one of the new characteristcs of P'ton.</p>

<p>Many different colors, many different backgrounds.</p>

<p>Yea, there are some " preppy" looking girls and boys, but they are a minority.</p>

<p>Most student are serious scholars, and yet they know how to partay!!</p>

<p>Come aboard, we will welcome u</p>

<p>There is something for everyone at Princeton. Some of the eating clubs might have a stuffy attitude but there are so many other diverse groups that one can find their niche.</p>

<p>thanks, it cleared things up a bit.</p>

<p>Does anybody know the racial breakdown by the way? How many first-generations are there? I read these stats somewhere before but I can't find the 2004 or 2005 versions.</p>
