Princeton has a beautiful campus! The students are friendly and hardworking. You definitely have to work hard to get in!
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
My Dad (who went to Princeton and does interviews for them) says to know what you want to say during the interview. DON'T complain about how much homework you have, because you will have so much more homework there than you do in High School. When the interviewer contacts you, be prompt about getting back to them, he has had so many people that contacted him back after the information from the interview was due.
Make sure you have an answer to the question beforehand: Why do you want to go to Princeton?
It's very important and many students can't even answer it for him!
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
It's an Ivy league, I'm not sure how well I can explain how hard it is.
My Dad was at the top of his class in high school, and was struggling to be mediocre at Princeton.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Going from what I've seen on their website, although the majority of the dorms are older, they appear very comfortable.
Sorry I couldn't provide any more information!

Describe the food and dining at your college.
The eating clubs have a great environment and are really fun!
Who wouldn't want a personalized omelet for breakfast?!?!?!?
