Princeton's "Undergraduate Emphasis"?

<p>No matter what I read about Princeton, the so-called undergraduate focus will always be mentioned. However I've not been able to understand what all the fuss is about.</p>

<p>Can someone actually explain to me then, what makes the undergraduate studies at Princeton different from the ones in any of the other top schools of the U.S.?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>Every professor at Princeton teaches at least one undergraduate course, and our student:faculty ratio is 5:1. There are twice as many undergrads as grad students. Everything about Princeton (especially the academics and social scene) is about the undergrads - not about law students, med students, business students, etc. The administration undoubtedly keeps in mind the undergrads in every single decision they make - whether it’s to start a new transportation system (WeCar introduced just last week), change the academic policies (new PDF policy taking effect next semester), or change the number of RCA’s per residential college. Their main focus will always be the undergrads.</p>

<p>This sums it up.</p>
