<p>Here are the fees for Cottage, one of the bicker clubs.

<p>Six to eight thousand dollars is indeed a lot of money. Princeton is supposed to increase your board by $1,500 to cover the added expense, but this will not be sufficient at some of the clubs (half of them in fact). It is difficult to make generalizations about the clubs. Some of them are elitist, and some of them aren’t. Being poor will make it harder for you to fit into certain crowds, but it won’t make you feel isolated from the student body as a whole. Like others have said, more than half of the freshman class is on financial aid. I would recommend that you visit and check out the social scene for yourself.</p>
