If any current or recent Princeton students (or parents) could answer this, I’d greatly appreciate it!
Beyond the academics and information you can find on the website, what, to you, makes Princeton unique? What is the student culture like that you have experienced, and how does this differ from other schools? Overall, what is being a Princeton student like? Thank you so much!!
I’d say this is very personal and subjective, and not easily answered here.
If possible, you should spend a day on campus. I’d also recommend you going to realtalk princeton (a tumblr) that is curated by students and is for students. You can get a great sense of Princeton from their interactions.
FWIW - my son loves it. Loves being around exceptional people, loves the classes and his residential college.
