Princeton University Visit Report by adriennevaughan

Visit Activities:

Campus Tour: Yes - Beautiful campus... But a bit of a walk because of the size.

Overnight Visit: Yes - Stayed with current Princeton freshmen in their dorms. Was great and got to see students outside of the classroom.

Classroom Visit: Yes - Not that different from every other college class. No matter what people say, Princeton is just another school.

Campus:

---

Hosts were great but even when walking around, you could ask any student for directions and they would. E glad to help you.

---

Very friendly and want you have a positive experience.

---

Large, Gothic, gorgeous.

---

Even the older buildings were fairly well maintained and the newer buildings like Frist and Butler were spic and span.

---

Even in Campbell Hall, the oldest and "worst" dorms, there were positives (like free laundry and the largest rooms) despite the three floor climb down into the basement to go to the bathroom

---

Walked around past midnight (after watching a free movie at the local theatre!) and still felt safe.

---

AMAZING!!

---

Off-Campus:

---

Very small and isolated feeling. You really understand what they mean by the "Orange Bubble" after you visit.

---

Small and safe. Feels like it could be a quieter, more suburban version of Manhattan.

Campus Visit Notes for Princeton University

Visit Description:

My admissions interview was in my hometown with a recent grad (2008/9 or sometime similar) in a coffee shop. Very informal and laid back.
