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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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,

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.

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".

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.

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.

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

Very well informed, friendly, and professional tour guide.
