<p>MHG…first congrats on your D’s wonderful acceptances.
You have come on this board a new member seeking advice or clarification but at the same time you seemed to have reached some conclusions about Princeton already. Why not tell us what your daughter’s interests are and let some weigh in whether or not the orange bubble would be a good fit. As a parent who lives close by and visits frequently I have found Princeton to be quite diverse with room for all points of view. Most important of all it is a campus full of students who are glad they chose Princeton for their undergraduate years. Whatever mindset your daughter seeks on campus she will find. As a large university Princeton can offer courses she might never have considered taking. I urge your family to go to April Hosting where of course Princeton puts their “best foot forward” then get back to us and tell us what you found. Last year my son who was accepted to Amherst, Williams and Columbia was blown away by the atmosphere on campus. See “This Side of Princeton” on pre-frosh Friday night as it will make you rethink some presupps who might have.</p>
