<p>Just trying to decide on a college.....I already know about all the good things about each......just seeing if some of their bad points out weigh the good so I can choose......
Thnaks btw!</p>

<p>Uhhhh nothing. Pton love, right here. :p</p>

<p>Just kidding, I'm sure there's a couple of bad things... perhaps one of them being it's located in New Jersey... but a nice part of Jersey, so I hear. Have yet to visit.</p>

<p>its location is nice. its the best part of NJ and its 1 hour from both NYC and philly</p>

<p>i dunno really anything bad about princeton, some people dont like how ur only in the residential college for 2 years but thats really cuz they dont understand how eating clubs really work =P</p>

<p>the bad parts of princeton all depend on your point of view. The campus is generally not very politically active, if thats what youre looking for. The social scene is somewhat limited, although theres always stuff to do if you look for it. The finals after break and the weird schedules can be a plus or minus depending on your point of view, and i cant think of anything else at this moment</p>

<p>what's bad about princeton is that u won't get a realist perspective of the world. you would only see the good</p>

<p>I doubt many will actually say the bad things about pton. Not that it's perfect, but most people don't want to say anything bad about their dream school</p>

<p>Going to Princeton, I have to convince myself it's really got no weaknesses, but that's unrealistic.</p>

<p>Princeton is buried in the only nice part of NJ, and true, you won't interact with non-Princetonians, as if you were in Boston, NYC or Phili. It's got an old-school semestering system ,which means post-December break exams, and funky weeks off here and there. </p>

<p>The social scene is mainly eating clubs - and again, it's in the middle of nowhere, so you gotta go far for clubs, bars, like in NYC and Phili.</p>

<p>Hey if you guys ever get bored with the social scene you could always come visit me at Penn :)</p>
