<p>I haven't heard much about Princeton, and what I have makes me sad. So I want to go directly to the source to see what the actual deal is.</p>
<p>What is the campus like in terms of social atmosphere. Some of the people I've talked to who've visited have said that it feels kinda of stiff and sort of one-note in terms of the type of people who go there. I really want this not to be true because diversity is something I would like after going to high school where, literally, the population is about 95% white (I wish this were a joke, but it isn't)</p>
<p>Does Princeton get boring? All I've heard is that Princeton is stogy and there isn't much to do. Also, is there a party scene of any kind. One kid said there are plenty of parties, and a couple others said there is no partying at all. So, what is the real truth? </p>
<p>Also, how is the school in terms of excepting its gay population. Are the students overall welcoming and excepting, or is it more homophobic or not tolerant? I haven't heard anything about this before, so I just want to check.</p>
<p>Princeton can seem one-note from the outside, but that is definitely not the case from within. There are many different pockets of social life, and most of that centers around the ten eating clubs. If you haven’t heard about them, look them up. The clubs are where the parties happen every Thursday and Saturday night, and the parties are really fun. I think it’s a better scene than other schools with room parties, because you’re more likely to see more people and the clubs have things like dj’s, theme nights, and live bands. You never really have to wonder where the parties are, which is nice if you’re studying all day on Saturday and then can go out and be sure you’ll see people you know, and people you might not. </p>
<p>In terms of LGBT culture on campus, Princeton is great. We are consistently ranked among the top 20 of LGBT-friendly campuses, and we have an LGBT Center with lots of programming and support. Though not all students here are 100% okay with it, I would say that the overwhelming majority is very tolerant and open about it. I am a gay student on campus and I have never experienced homophobia, which is more than I can say for other schools where I’ve stayed with friends. The Princeton gay scene is small, but really tight-knit, and most everyone here is great about it.</p>
<p>^any bi guys/girls in the “gay circle” despite not being gay? also, from your experience, are people at princeton accepting of bisexuals just as much as gays? (i know there are a lot of people who accept gays but not bi’s.) thanks for any info!</p>
