<p>Yeah, I'd rent you a spot in front of my house on a side street...15-20 minute walk from central campus.</p>
<p>I think getting a parking pass at the princeton junction station has a waiting list. I'll double check with my father.</p>
<p>Noooo... but I {heart} the Dinky! Maybe there's something we can do to save it?</p>
<p>Save the Dinky!</p>
<p>Whose idea was it to tear it down?!?!</p>
<p>I don't believe the plans are final. And I am told by alums who are old enough to be your parents that plans to eliminate the Dinky come up again and again.</p>
<p>nice, so it's safe..... whew :)</p>
<p>What are your top 10 favorite things about Princeton U and the surrounding town?</p>
<p>TEN???? that's so much. I'll just list 5 haha </p>
<ol>
<li>The architecture and personality of the downtown and University</li>
<li>The restaurants and eateries (go to hoagie haven)</li>
<li>Proximity and accessibility to NYC and Phila (both for fun and culture)</li>
<li>McCarter Theater</li>
<li>Princeton Basketball (even though I prefer hockey)</li>
</ol>
<p>after that we're starting to get superficial and commonplace, like bowling alleys, theaters, laser tag, ice skating, the lake, abundance of local malls etc.</p>
<p>Speaking of Princeton restaurants, I had dinner at Mediterra this evening. Fantastic, albeit overpriced, place!</p>
<p>Mediterra is awesome.
Other great places are Tiger Noodles (chinese), Winberie's (american), Hoagie Haven/George's (subs & grease food), Blue Point Grill (seafood), Carousel and P.J.'s Pancakes (breakfast), Thomas Sweet and Halo Pub (ice cream), and Conte's (pizza).</p>
<p>Good brandname places for food very convenient to campus are starbucks, panera, and wawa.</p>
<p>Chuck's (Spring Street Cafe) was still great the last time I went there!</p>
<p>oh yeah, how could i forget chucks! this is what happens when I leave for a semester!</p>
<p>errr...forgot bent spoon for ice cream and hot chocolate, beats Halo Pub and Thomas Sweet anyday ;)</p>
<p>Sukura Express for cheap sushi and a lot of other foods ^.^</p>
<p>i hate bent spoon haha. and I'm not familiar with sukura, I went to the PHS so for sushi I'd just hit up the local supermarket , McCaffrey's, because of proximity, plus it's on the way to my house.</p>
<p>My question is- does anybody know the acceptance rate of twins into the Ivy League. My sister and I both have high G.P.A.'s 4.78 uw 4.0w and are both taking the hardest courses at our school. I got a 740,720, 710 on sat and she scored about 30 points less overall. We both run three varsity sports and co-captained them this year. We both did volunteer and Research work at Fox Chase Cancer Center and have been vet technicians for the past 4 years. I'd like to know what our chance of acceptance is.
Also, do twins get into the same college, if they both have almost the exact same stats and EC's. We pretty wrote about the same things too.</p>
<p>mmmmm... twins....</p>
<p>What's your typical day at Princeton like? Say a Tuesday or Wednesday.</p>
<p>how does the campus compare to Cornell's in terms of architecute and natural beauty?</p>
<p>princeton is architecturally more attractive, but in terms of natural beauty is pretty much limited to an artificial lake. The grounds of Princeton U are the grounds of suburbia. There is an almost universally grey gothic style of architecture at princeton, and the non-gothic structures blend into the gothic landscape.</p>
<p>At cornell, the architecture is eclectic, and the buildings are more spread out. There are some beautiful gothic buildings and some masterpieces in other architectural styles, but the uniformity of princeton is not there, and there are some buildings that are plainly unattractive. However, in terms of natural beauty, cornell is exquisite. The views on and from campus are unbelievable!</p>
<p>I don't attend princeton, so I don't know what the typical princetonian tuesday or wednesday. I imagine it involves, sleeping, eating, bathing, working, studying, and chilling, just like you do at school now.</p>
<p>Sorry for stupid questions but I haven't visited...</p>
<p>-How long is the drive to Philadelphia? NYC?
-Do Princeton students leave campus on a regular basis? Is most entertainment provided by the Uni itself?
-Best cheap food?
-How cold in the winters?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Best Cheap food = hoagie haven :D</p>
<p>stambliark41: would you want to have a car in NYC? I thought not. you can be in the city in like an hour by train, which leaves directly from the edge of campus...the aforementioned "dinky" Easiest way to phila is by train too, but if you want to drive cars the drives are still like an hour, maybe a little more, I'd say.</p>
<p>I'm not a princeton student, but my PU friends who when to PHS say they don't leave campus that much in their daily routines or for recreation. Just like at Cornell, and a lot of campuses I imaging, most of the fun occurs without even leaving the campus.</p>
<p>Best (cheap) food is hoagie haven, no doubt.</p>
<p>winters are like the rest of the northeast...b**chin' cold, with wind and snow. However, like the rest of the northeast, you can have a foot of snow in early december but none on the ground at new years. It really varies, but it definitely gets cold, windy, and snowy at times.</p>
