<p>*When did I criticize its sports teams? Princeton recruits great athletes in great number for a school of its size. </p>
<p>*Princeton NJ is a tidy, upscale suburban community, which, while not too exciting, would be a nice place to retire to.</p>
<ul>
<li><p>There is nothing “wrong” with its study abroad program; no school is required to have one. I merely point out that an expanded study abroad program could facilitate a more liberal transfer program - extending it to non-athletes.</p></li>
<li><p>I am a big fan of its Admissions Director - Ms. Rapelye - and think she has changed Princeton for the better as compared to her predecessor. Princeton has accepted a lower yield rate in order to pursue top students rather than the “Princeton Type” favored by her predecessor.</p></li>
<li><p>Similarly, Princeton deserves credit for efforts to become more diverse - (1) pursuing what its President calls “the green-haired people” - ie, artsy types who tended to avoid Princeton in the past, and (2) changing housing arrangements in order to marginalize the “eating clubs.”</p></li>
</ul>
<p>These are all GOOD THINGS ABOUT PRINCETON!</p>
