<p>Actually, the bike problem at Princeton is about to be solved: <a href=“http://www.dailyprincetonian.com/archives/2007/02/22/news/17439.shtml[/url]”>http://www.dailyprincetonian.com/archives/2007/02/22/news/17439.shtml</a></p>
<p>Princeton’s intense attention on undergrads as well as the money it devotes to them, and its intense school spirit, were what won us over, along with the beautiful and very safe campus. It’s been a great experience. My d, who came from a very diverse high school, was not impressed with the so-called diversity she saw on most Ivy campuses; at Princeton she has good friends of literally every race and background. If you’re a friendly person, you’ll find your niche. </p>
<p>The only negative I can offer about Princeton compared to the other two schools is that, if you are looking for a beautiful quad with two doubles and a common room, your chances as a first-year student are definitely much worse at Princeton. Princeton’s housing ranges from beautiful to abominable. I’ve seen some dorms at Yale that were real pits – though I gather they continue to renovate – but I gather Harvard’s are generally very nice.</p>
