Typical walk around (and NOT IN) main parts of campus highlighting historical anecdotes and genl info about campus - would have been nice to see inside a room or library or classroom [View Full Report]

Beautiful campus... But a bit of a walk because of the size. [View Full Report]

The tour was good but maybe too much walking. The tour guide was good and knew his information. Full tour of the campus and all the important buildings and information included. [View Full Report]

Detestable. It was pouring rain and we hardly went inside at all. All the guide kept talking about was the history of the school and the eating clubs. Not enough talk about classes and dorms. [View Full Report]

Huge # of people--11 tour guides. We had a Sr--who did a great job--and then another Sr for the engineering tour. The students did a great job explaining the Sr thesis requirement [View Full Report]

Were there shortly after students had vacated the dorms. As beautiful as the campus may be, there was trash everywhere! Futons, clothing, toasters, you name it, all displayed on the lawns for us. [View Full Report]

Wonderful. Did not cover the outskirts of the campus, but hit through the heart of it. Very friendly guides. [View Full Report]

Tour guide was obviously brilliant but a poor guide. Lots of ums, uhs, you knows, likes, and switched topics constantly like an ADHD kid without meds. Other people left the tour as it went. [View Full Report]

The school was BEAUTIFUL! The tour guide was okay. Not many people were too engaged so the tour lacked because of that. But, he did his best to show us a general feel for the school. [View Full Report]

The tour was very informative. Unlike a lot of college tours I'd been on, the guide responded well to questions and admitted some faults in the school; a refreshing change from the basic stats/un [View Full Report]

The tour doesn't take you into any dorms or give much of an indication as to how the students spend their time, but it covers most of the campus. [View Full Report]

Very crowded. At least 120 people on tour with each guide. More like a museum tour. Did not see dorms, or classrooms, just outside of historic buildings [View Full Report]

Tour was conducted by a sophomore whose father had graduated from Princeton. She was very gungho and familiar with campus, having been to reunions most of her life. [View Full Report]

Knowledgeable student led tour. Really impressive. Every building is something amazing. Answered specific questions afterwards. It was good to talk to a student since there's no summer school [View Full Report]

The tour was good. It gave a rough overview of the campus and the background of alot of the buildings. Wasn't all-inclusive, but visited most of the campus and gave me alot of information. [View Full Report]

Great! Very knowledgable tour guide. He told us all about the history of the campus-like the Revolutionary War & Nassau Hall. He was very enthusiastic and talked about the campus, theses, classes, [View Full Report]

This was fairly impersonal. There was a lot of history and about half the tour seemed to be sightseeing (small kids, a few elderly couples). It was fairly general and we didn't get to see the inside of any buildings. [View Full Report]

Very informative and intersting. He gave lot's of details of how Princton fit in with the history of America. Like how it was a key point in the American Revolution and how they used the campus in the making of "A Beautiful Mind". [View Full Report]

Very good; gave a lot of interesting details and was very skilled at walking backwards. Apparently there are competitive "try-outs" to be tour guides, so you can imagine that the tour guides are pretty good. [View Full Report]

I guess it was alright. I really liked the tour in Nassau Hall. The many famous portraits and paintings were very worthwhile to see. The big conference room was like the House of Commons in England. [View Full Report]

First off, like the info session, there were too many people in the tour group. The tour guide was HORRENDOUS. I learned essentially nothing about the campus, student life or the school from her. She was obviously jacked on caffeine, claimed she hadn [View Full Report]
