<p>I had the same problem with parties. I don’t like them, and I was worried that Princeton would surround me with way more partiers than my alternative school, the University of Chicago. When I visited, I was placed in “substance-free housing,” which pretty much showed me that if that’s what I select for next year, I really have nothing to worry about. What’d we do Friday night? Went out to eat, watched some a cappella groups, and played the game Taboo till almost 4:00 AM. Pretty sweet, if you ask me.</p>
<p>I talked to more kids from Princeton about that, and they told me that many kids in substance-free housing sound just like what I’m looking for: people who would rather play a board game / see a concert / play some tennis on a Friday night rather than go to some party. One of the girls I hung out with (freshman) told me she had the same concern before you went to Princeton, but was very pleased with the people she met. She lives in substance-free housing.</p>
<p>Princeton is just large enough that, from what I hear, you will definitely be able to find your niche. Though a majority of the students party (like at any college), you can easily find people who don’t.</p>
<p>At least, I hope so, unless everyone is lying to me! 
I’ve already accepted my offer of admission to Princeton, so at least you know of one person who doesn’t party.</p>
<p>Edit: Oh, and about regretting your decision, don’t worry about it. Just keep trying to organize your thoughts, and I promise you, no matter how unbelievably difficult it will be to say no to your other school (University of Chicago was my top choice for several months), you’ll be very excited about your decision. No matter what you choose, you’ll know you couldn’t go wrong: you’ll love either school. I felt sad the night I accepted Princeton, but right now I’m just very, very excited!</p>
