<p>Hopefully you get the sense that Stanford is respected by Princeton alumnae. Many Princeton students would like to attend grad school at Stanford. When students that I am interviewing ask about Stanford I tell them that the two schools have many similarities. However, the school spirit and sense of community at Princeton is special. Here is a link to a student that has attended both Princeton and Stanford.

<p>Princeton students quickly make many friends. Prior to freshman week students can attend a pre-frosh outdoor adventure trip. Many students make friendships that last for a lifetime. See: [Outdoor</a> Action Frosh Trip Program](<a href=“http://www.princeton.edu/~oa/ft/index.shtml]Outdoor”>Frosh Trip | Outdoor Action) While Princeton is much smaller than Stanford the residential colleges provide a small town unit for students to get to know a group of friends. Ponder this list of student organizations.
