<p>Hey Birdlover... I'm a senior at Princeton who had a similar impression of the campus before i got here. I didn't really plan on doing theater at all (i was going to be an Economics major or Compsci) but i've ended up as an English major who's writing a play for his thesis. I honestly love this school so much it's kind of ridiculous (the fact that i'm posting should be testamount to the fact). My thesis advisor, who is the head of the theater & dance department, is giving me amazing feedbck on my play (i believe he was the in house dramaturge at yale rep before he came here, meaning that he read every play submitted for production there). This weekend i'm going to film the second episode of a tv show that i started this year with a friend, thanks to the newly formed Princeton Student Television Network. </p>
<p>Obviously i can't compare it to yale or anywhere else, but i think the arts program here is fantastic. Between independent student group productions (triangle, theater intime, quipfire, disiac, etc.) and the academic side (which ain't too shabby either) there's really a place for anyone who wants to pursue it seriously. </p>
<p>oh, and if you want to see the show, <a href="http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=Princeton+Sprint%5B/url%5D">http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=Princeton+Sprint</a></p>
