Hey,

I’ve heard that Princeton has recently moved to a 4-year residential college model. Can someone explain in detail what this system entails to me, please? What are its advantages and disadvantages? Does it seem to be working well or poorly? I heard that one of the goals of such models is to build college community and increase inter-class interaction. Has the res-college model done this?

I would, of course, be more curious to hear what current students have to say, but I’d appreciate any feedback on this aspect of Princeton life from anyone who has knowledge about the school.

Thanks!
