<p>After we left Princeton Preview days, I asked my dd (who has already commited to Princeton) what she didn’t like.</p>
<p>She said that there was too much drinking at the Arch Sings on Thursday night, but she realized that she’d run into that at any school. Friday she participated in the Geography Bee and had a blast. Too bad she didn’t find the Taboo group- she would have loved that.</p>
<p>As for Substance-Free housing, she was concerned that there would be a stigma attached if you chose that - as if you’re super up-tight. She found out that not only is there no issue about it, but that the room assignments are often/usually nicer! Our feeling is that you sign up for Substance-free the first year. If you don’t like it, change your mind for future years. Easier to do that than to be in a dorm that parties too much.</p>
<p>We left with the distinct impression that you can find your niche there and there are always activities going on that are not drinking-related.</p>
