It's time. Oldest S has other reasons to travel east this summer, and we'd like to build a visit to Princeton into the trip. We're thinking a weekday in mid-June, and I've checked to make sure that campus info sessions and the Orange Key tour happen on the dates in mind. (Engineering tours do NOT happen when we will be in the area.)

The visit will be brief, and mostly just the admission dog and pony show. But what else should we absolutely, positively do if we are in Princeton? (I was last there, for a professional visit to ETS, back before my son was born.) Where should we stay? What would be a good place to mosey around on our own to get a sense (as much as that can be done during the summer) of life at Princeton? All information and opinions eagerly sought.

Best wishes to all the rest of you with summer college tour plans.
