<p>Hi, sorry this is so late minute, but we are visiting Princeton tomorrow. In addition to the information session and tour, is there anything else that you can recommend that we do?</p>
<p>Also, does anyone know if we can get any literature, such as course description booklets, etc., while we are there?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>

<p>You can get free copies of the Undergraduate</a> Announcement and Graduate</a> Announcement at the admissions office. Of course, you can also access them online.</p>
<p>Thanks for your help!</p>
<p>check out some of the previous threads on this topic, e.g.:</p>

<p>thanks Fscottie!</p>
<p>f.scottie and all, I checked out those threads, which were very helpful. So, I guess the eating clubs are completely closed for the summer, even for viewing. You mentioned the Chapel. Just curious, but is there a specific religion associated with the chapel, Catholic, Protestant, etc?</p>
<p>From the other threads, it sounds like Princeton is a beautiful campus.</p>
<p>The Chapel has no a specific affiliation.</p>
<p>If you are Protestant Princeton Evangelical Fellowship does a Friday night bible study.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.princeton.edu/%7Epef/%5B/url%5D">http://www.princeton.edu/~pef/</a></p>
<p>There's a whole section of the tour devoted specifically to the Chapel and religious life on campus, so no need to worry about that yet. I'm giving tours at 11 and 3:30 tomorrow, so if you're on campus for one of those I'll see you then :)</p>
<p>Phil has emerged as another Princetonian fluent in the art of "walking backwards":)</p>
<p>We were planning on the 1pm tour since the website suggested with doing the 1pm tour followed by the 2:15 info session, or the 9:45 tour followed by the 11 info session. We can't make the 9:45 tour, so are shooting for the 1pm.</p>
<p>I guess the school would like you to take the tour so that any questions that arise, they can address at the info session? However, the tour guide could do that too, hmmmm.</p>
<p>If we are running late, does it matter if we do the info session at 2:15 before your 3:30 tour?</p>
<p>Thanks again.</p>
<p>nopoisonivy, we are Catholic, but no problem.</p>
<p>Why am I not surprised that philntex is a tour guide:). May the class of 2010 and 2011 have people like phil...</p>
<p>Haha, much appreciated, alumother. I've finally internalized reverse walking without endangering small children and animals. I feel like I have a superpower :cool:</p>
<p>In any case, there's also an info session at 12:15 now, so if you did decide to go to the 11:00 tour, you could go to that session. Additionally, some people do choose to go to the 2:15 info session first and then take the 3:30 tour. The only tour that doesn't have a session following it is the 3:30 tour, but as I said you can go beforehand and make the tour after.</p>
<p>Thanks!! Since the boys were up very late (ah, summer), we may just do the later info session and tour. Then, we see the reverse walking!!!</p>
<p>Ok, Philntex, it looks like we will see you at the 3:30 tour! We hope to see the infamous reverse walking. You must get neck strain, though.</p>
<p>i really really really like the student center at princeton. swing by the campus store--you'll see what i mean</p>
<p>I should have mentioned PEF has many Catholics attending.
It's a great group to meet people and make friends in any case.</p>
<p>Philntex, we were at the 3:30 tour, but you divided the group, and we were in the other group. I wanted to shout out, "But Phil, we want to see your reverse walking!"</p>
<p>However, our tour guide was very friendly and informative. She was also skilled in reverse walking.</p>
<p>My son will probably return in the Fall and ask to sit in on a class. We didn't have time to walk into other buildings or even see what a classroom looked like. We did peak into one dorm for underclassmen. Question: the showers in all the dorms, they are private, right? I realize people have to share bathrooms. But some schools, actually have group showers, like in a boys' gym. That's not the case at Princeton, right? You want to take a shower, it's private, right? thanks</p>
<p>Actually, I wasn't able to give the 3:30 tour since I was frantically moving my things out of my dorm at the time. I was just 11 today, but I'm glad to hear your guide did well :)</p>
<p>The showers all have stalls, so it's not group showering, heheh. Princeton's old, but not still stuck in Those Times.</p>
<p>I see, so there are several showers in one room but all are private. My sister told me to make sure I ask these questions because when she looked at a school in PA, (although in the 1980's-I think it was Lehigh), she was turned off by the group showers that were all open.</p>
<p>We saw one single dorm room for undergrads by peaking in the window. Someone asked if we could. It was very small (the bedroom part) and then a bigger common area where I saw a table, chairs and counter area. I guess it is standard for all schools.</p>
<p>I was really surprised that our tour guide (who I loved-think her name was Rachel or something with an R) had a room on a floor where she was the only girl. At least, that's what my husband thought he heard. I guess when it is coed, they just randomly assign floors.</p>
<p>The kids that live in the non-coed dorms, are they made fun of at all? </p>
<p>Sorry for the stupid questions.</p>
