<p>I do not understand the poor Princeton Preview experiences. From CC posters I have the impression that MIT does the best job and Princeton needs improvement. Princeton students are serious and sometimes intense; but they do have fun and enjoy a good prank. Please see for a list of some memorable pranks: [Princeton</a> Alumni Weekly: Pranks for the memories](<a href=“http://www.paw.princeton.edu/issues/2011/01/19/pages/2657/index.xml]Princeton”>Pranks for the memories | Princeton Alumni Weekly) </p>
<p>To be appreciated the pranks need to be well thought out and well executed. I still remember the first pranks my freshman year. The Princeton Honor Code means that all examinations are conducted on the honor system. No professors or TA’s remain in the room to watch the students. Students are free to leave the room and return. I was struggling on my freshman midterm physics exam and in walks a waiter in formal attire with a Heineken beer on a tray. He serves a student the beer and leaves. I am thinking What the ****. Ten minutes later the same student stands up and yells This test is impossible. I am quitting school. He tears up the midterm exam and stomps out of the room to great applause. A well done and appreciated prank.</p>
<p>I was public school, middle class, and mid western. Seventy per cent of the student body is from public schools or catholic schools. While there are a very few preppies that take themselves serious most students enjoy making fun of the preppy image or adopting a fun element of this such as by wearing old jeans and a tweed sports coat. Here is a recent video of Princeton students mocking the preppy image.

<p>Most students are from backgrounds similar to your son. They are intense and passionate about their studies but are also looking for fun and warmth in college. </p>
