I was a student many years ago, but my perspective is that 1) engineering is tough everywhere and 2) Princeton engineers are different because they can write. In the old days the engineers were more serious and had to work harder than us liberal arts majors. Yes, they had fun, but they didn’t have time for as many ECs as we did. But to be fair I see the same thing today at my son’s Big State U.

Having said that, I do think your son should go with his gut. Princeton is a great place, but if it doesn’t feel right to your son, he should go somewhere else.
