<p>hey hazmat, very nice to see you lurking around in the princeton forum haha </p>

<p>thanks for your response ... as you can see, im trying to figure out a potential major in college other than marketing and finance lol</p>

<p>You could actually do both......you're smart and the language/culture thing is one facet. My friend is East Asian Studies/Mandarin language and he loves it. There are many good programs out there......don't forget the two major contributions of money to G'town and Harvard for Middle Eastern Studies.....$20M to each school. Harvard & G'town. They will be looking to feed the programs.</p>

<p>For what its worth, my Chinese teacher, who seems to somehow know just about everyone involved in and everything about Chinese Language/Asian Studies programs in the United States (and whose opinion should have a good deal of credibility given her background) maintains that Princeton's program is the absolute best.</p>

<p>Well there 'ya go. Ask the prof at your own school and whadday get.....the school she teaches in.</p>

<p>Lol, but actually, I don't go to Princeton- I'm still in high school (and my Chinese teacher hasn't ever taught at or attended Princeton either). I just thought I'd share her opinion, as it has had some weight in my own college search.</p>

<p>I'm just kidding 'ya. I am too brain fried from finals and tomorrow is my last one.......woot.</p>

<p>Lol, I know the feeling. Good luck with your last one!</p>

<p>Shellzie, thank you for your input. </p>

<p>and Hazmat, good luck on the last latin final of your life.</p>

<p>As someone who majored in Japanese and studied Mandarin at a top program, I feel safe in saying that Princeton is definitely a top program.</p>
