<p>So I'm visiting the campus for an organized tour + visitation tomorrow.</p>
<p>Any quick reccomendations on what to, ahem, DO?</p>
<p>explore the town a little bit, too</p>
<p>On campus, I would particularly recommend visiting the Chancellor Green Rotunda -- I think it's the most beautiful building on campus. You might also want to see how Whitman College is coming along.</p>
<p>Outside of campus, I highly recommend The Bent Spoon, an ice cream store in Palmer Square. They have great flavors and use organic ingredients, and their cookies and cupcakes are also great!</p>
<p>bent spoon is waaayyyy overrated, i like the ice cream at that candy store on nassau road better</p>
<p>haha the bent spoon sounds like something out of Harry Potter for some reason.</p>
<p>but thanks guys. i'm really looking forward to my visit, i hear the campus is absolutely beautiful.</p>
<p>what about visiting prospect street?</p>
<p>yes, visit prospect street to see the eating clubs (obviously you cant go in, at least i dont think you can). but they're pretty impressive, they look like large homes in wealthy suburbs...very large, actually</p>
<p>awesome, i'm excited to see prospect street...</p>
<p>I also reccomend taking a visit INSIDE Richardson auditorium. If you can, go into the basement and ask someone if you can step inside the auditorium. Its beautiful</p>
<p>PJ's Pancake House for breakfast (scratch your name into a table) and Halo Pub for ice cream.</p>
<p>check out the inside of the chapel if it's not on the tour, and if you have the time, some of the parts of the campus off the tour track (the junior slums, icahn lab, princeton stadium, even the graduate college (amazing)). you might even be able to catch a service at the chapel, if you have the time. there are plenty of things to see at the frist campus center, the art museum, and the U-store, and there's summer theater at hamilton-murray. as for eats, try some of the student faves: hoagie haven, olive's, halo/T-sweet's. most importantly, TALK TO PEOPLE around campus. it's summer, people will be happy to help out a prospective student with directions or questions.</p>
<p>The ice cream store that the other person in this thread referred to, "T Sweet's," is a good ice cream store if you're taking a young child along on the trip. Their staff is almost entirely 15-18 year old high schoolers who are slow and have troubles taking your order. Their ice cream is uninspired and, what's more, it's a much longer walk to there than to The Bent Spoon. At the Bent Spoon, the owners run the shop, you don't have four year olds running around, and while the serving sizes are smaller, this is ice-cream we're talking about -- you care about the taste, not if you can get a 16-oz. serving for three bucks.</p>
<p>I just got back. We got stuck in traffic on the way up from UPenn (which we visited before) and JUST missed the 3:30 tour, so we decided to tour on our own. Have to say, gorgeous campus, gorgeous town, wow I loved the place...</p>
<p>good to hear. FYI: orange key offers a "virtual" tour online:</p>
