<p>Except spell “quote” correctly the second time.</p>
<p>Thank you good sir.</p>

<p>I know someone who keeps a small cat in his room. The only way you can get caught is if a fire inspector comes in and sees it. But they’re not allowed to move anything around when they come in, so if you just place a blanket over the tank, they can’t look and see what it’s hiding. Just make sure your snake doesn’t hiss!</p>
<p>For a traveler, where on campus to spend 1 hour for the best impression of the university?</p>
<p>Check out the buildings up-campus (the chapel, McCosh courtyard, Nassau Hall, Blair Arch), and maybe swing by Frist Campus Center if you have time. Unfortunately you won’t get to see many students if you go this time of year.</p>
<p>Which Freshman seminar do you recommend? Which did you guys take? Did you like them? and which ones have you heard good remarks about?</p>
<p>Hey I had a question about the AP exams. I am an international, and I took 4 of them. But my scores weren’t great. Do you think it’ll still be a good idea to send the scores to Princeton?
My school doesn’t offer AP classes( though some of the material may be similar in Chem and Phy)
Calculus BC-3(3)
Chemistry-3
Physics C(Mech)-4
Eng Lang and composition-3</p>
<p>Any freshman seminar with a trip will likely be very, very good. I would strongly recommend FRS122 in the spring. I’ve heard from last year’s students that it was a great trip and interesting material.</p>
<p>How safe are the trains that run to NYC or Philadelphia? I live near a big city, and on the intracity train here, I personally don’t think I’d feel comfortable pulling out an expensive laptop. If I bought a Vaio or MacBook Pro for Princeton, would I be able to use it on the major trains during normal work hours?</p>
<p>I feel fine using my laptop on the trains.</p>
<p>^ Thanks :)</p>
<p>swimHYPW (post #255; if you’re still checking this)–I’m not really a “current student,” but as a 2014 admit, I don’t think Physics vs. Bio/Chem would generally hurt someone. I took AP Physics C as my only advanced science course, and while Bio and Chem are popular at my hs too, I never so much as wondered whether that would disadvantage me. If anything, I thought/think Physics was a plus, especially because I’m a girl. BUT if you’re premed or something, I bet it would hurt.</p>
<p>Sorry that this is really similar to a previous question, but are there any programs/majors in which owning a Mac would be a disadvantage? People I know at other (ahem, lesser :P) schools had issues in math/science/engineering courses and even in courses they took as undergrads at the law school (which I don’t really understand…?). I want to make student films, so I’m definitely leaning towards buying a Mac, but I wouldn’t want it to get in the way of any classes.</p>
<p>Some engineering software is built for PC only. That’s the only thing I can think of. My friends have complained that some of the software used for engineering lab courses (I don’t know any specifics) can only be on PC – but they usually go use the computers in lab for those anyway.</p>
<p>LaTeX is much better suited for macs, as well as a lot of other programming languages commonly used in the sciences and in math.</p>
<p>Can anyone tell me about what it’s like for a student-athlete (a varsity/recruited athlete) at Princeton? Can you still take the courses you want to take? Are most student-athletes able to stay on top of their coursework but also have a social life? Also, can spring athletes to abroad at any point?</p>
<p>Also, do you (pton students) find the graduation requirements or curriculum restricting? How easy is it to try a class in a subject/concentration you have never explored before?</p>
<p>Thanks a million!</p>
<p>I don’t quite understand the AP credit table on Princeton’s webpage. What credit can I get with these scores:
AP US Gov and Pol-5
AP USH-5
AP Chem-5
AP Eng Lang-5</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Pretty sure there’s no difference as long as you use a good program…</p>
<p>Quick Question: Can you actually study in the libraries/study areas located in the residential colleges? I am worried that I would get interrupted constantly by my fellow students from the RC and would get little done. Do I have to go to Firestone to get some true isolation for some good studying?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>You can definitely get real studying done in the rescol libraries – people will give you dirty looks if you talk.</p>
<p>dancar, the ultimate quiet library that was also used for all-nighters was the library at the bottom of Fine Hall (Math Department). It was opened 24 hours per day. This was a while back, so I don’t know if it is still there. No one, but no one, would ever bother you there. The ultimate concentration library. Firestone was, in those days, a semi-social center where you would study for one hour and take a 10 minute talk break with your classmates.</p>
<p>After a while you will find the right spot that allows you the ultimate concentration in your studies of the many libraries on campus.</p>
<p>Should my son get a window fan or tower fan? He will be in the addition part of Forbes. Also, should I spring for the whole cable package or is the basic enough? Does the addition part of Forbes have rugs? If not what type of flooring (cement or wood)? Thanks</p>
