“Trust your instincts and don’t look back. Plenty of great schools to attend.”
I agree with this. There are a lot of good schools. Princeton is a great school for some students, but no university is a great school for a majority of students (even a majority of academically very strong students).
OP, your concerns about Princeton seem to overlap with some concerns we had about some of the highly ranked LACs in New England. Daughter went elsewhere, somewhere she was comfortable on several visits, and is very happy with her choice.
I applaud you for visiting, for looking beyond the rankings, and for looking for a good fit for you.
