Princeton

<p>What's life like at Princeton? How would you compare it to other schools. I'm mainly looking at law, but the feel of the school matters a lot to me.</p>

<p>Princeton's Law school isn't as "substantial" as some of the other programs.</p>

<p>Princeton's Law School is high up there, along with powerhouses such as Swarthmore and Deep Springs College.</p>

<p>Yisroel, the other posters are making fun of your OP because there is no Princeton law school. Do you already have your bachelors, or are you saying you're looking to go into law eventually?</p>

<p>As far as the feel of the school goes, it's all about polo shirts and old buildings. Good times.</p>

<p>I'm looking to go into law eventually. Do they really not have a law school? I'm not majorly looking at any school in particular, but I'm very interested in the ivy league feel and Princeton sounded much more interesting. I just wikipediad it. I'm amazed.</p>

<p>Princeton doesn't have a law school, but many graduates do go on to law school, particularly social sciences and humanities majors.</p>

<p>Princeton focuses heavily on its undergraduate programs and has a very small (compared to other schools of its caliber, ie Harvard and Yale) graduate program.</p>

<p>It has the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs (which offers Bachelor's degrees), which is a top-ranked program in its general field, and I guess may be similar to what you're interested in. However, there is no pre-law major at any top school, and you generally want to major in a different field that you're also interested in.</p>

<p>Part of the smallness of our graduate school has to do with the lack of a medical, business, or law school. There are about 2000 (mostly PhD) students who are just as devoted of Princetonians as the undergraduates, nevermind the fact we stay here at least a year longer and make the place the world famous research institution it is. Simply put, no graduate students = Princeton College.</p>

<p>But yeah, Princeton rules. There's a lot to do on and off campus, and despite common rumor you don't have to be the son of a senator or CEO to socialize and have a good time.</p>

<p>sounds good. I think I'll still apply. I would definitely stick with social sciences, english, stuff like that and then on to a grad school for law. I'm going to use that law school joke around my friends. Just to get the reaction.</p>
