Campus Visit Notes for Princeton University:
Visit Description:
I had no intention of liking Princeton. I want my kids close to home. They wanted to go so I went only to appease them. Sadly, I couldn't find a single thing wrong with the place. The town is every women's dream. The school is a place where they cultivate the love of learning and that's every mother's dream. They had a huge variety of majors and certificates, there just really didn't seem to be anything missing. It's a great place and can certainly see why it's one of the best.
Hotel/Lodging Recommendations or Comments:
You must stay at the Inn right there in town. It is the only hotel walking distance to campus. You just get a great feel for the environment.
Dining/Restaurant Recommendations or Comments:
We ate at a brewery and at the Ice Cream shop, as well as a little greek restraunt. All were good. None were great!
