Wow! That’s amazing! I keep hearing it’s the best for undergrads, but I was kind of curious if you could explain what that specifically means. I’ve heard from some that professors care more and are better and more focused at teaching at Princeton, but then I hear from students(like in the Princeton Confessions video) that the professors really aren’t all that amazing to learn from. And then I hear of student teacher ratios of 1:6, but then am told from students that most of their classes have 30-50 people with intro classes sometimes having hundreds. I guess I’m just kinda confused what actually separates Princeton in their undergrad experience, but maybe it’s something that’s not quantifiable or explainable.
Also, I know it’s a weird question, but it’s been kinda nagging at me. Why does a better undergraduate education matter? Don’t get me wrong. I really want to learn in college, but people keep telling me everything you learn in college classes is pretty much useless and forgettable anyway. So if it also means a lower gpa, is the better education worth it?
