<p>I'll just answer #3. Most people say Princeton is one of those "Work Hard, Party Hard" kinda college. And if you happen to not like alcohol....yea i know who am i kiddin'... you don't need to drink and you won't feel left out...</p>

<p>I'm kinda curious about #5 myself... anyone?</p>

<ol>
<li>Supposedly</li>
<li>Enough</li>
<li>Not unheard of</li>
<li>Bon chance</li>
<li>No</li>
<li>Oh yes</li>
<li>I fail to see how that relates to the social scene. Yes, there is rather a lot of security, but they hardly ever drop by for a drink.</li>

<li>hot girls or nerdy/fat ones?</li>
</ol>

<p>hot girls. many of them.</p>

6

<p>I recall someone's observation that there are no fat people at Princeton.</p>

7

<p>Who cares what other people do? You should get wasted every weekend anyway.</p>

8

<p>Bad! Bad! No wasted! Study! ;)</p>

<p>and party, but no getting wasted.</p>

9

<p>hobbes, if your comment about the excessive amount of hot girls is true, you have just swayed my decision fully towards Princeton. Very nice ...</p>

10

<p>Just to confirm hobbes earlier assessment, there are definitely plenty good-looking girls at Princeton. In fact, the depth of quality is stacked like one would find at a state Californian school.</p>

11

<p>I know where I'm applying early ;)</p>

12

<p>I think the guys are hot too :p</p>

13

<p>Excellent :D</p>

<p>Do a lot of kids date? (as in, not just random hook-ups... lol). I mean, i know kids are busy, but i don't really want to go through four years of college without having a boyfriend at one point...</p>

14

<p>I assume they do if the 70% intermarriage rumor is true...</p>

15

<p>lol i've heard that too... it's a good sign ;)</p>

16

<p>Wow, we both deleted our posts in the realization that they may be offensive! Luckily, I got your reply in my email :P And don't worry, I have "puppy dog eyes."</p>

<p>Campus security:</p>

<p>Campus security is lax about parties and alcohol. The only time they will come in and stop a party is if there is a noise complaint. Usually, if you just promise to keep it down afterwards they won't bother you again. Campus police absolutely forbids carrying alcohol in open containers in public. Do not carry beer out from the eating clubs or room parties, or you will get into trouble.</p>

<p>Other than that, the only other time they interfere is occassionally checking your ID when they see you carrying a bag full of booze around campus.</p>

18

<p>Can I say yum...? I think that word just about sums up my feeling for princeton hehe.</p>

19

<p>Anyone who thinks he/she willl get by socially without drinking in college has either never been in college or is delusional. You realize that at schools like Princeton (non-urban), roughly 90% of the student body drinks?</p>

20

<p>So does that make the 10% social losers?</p>
