The classes are definitely extremely challenging, but after taking a summer class at Pace (a local Westchester private college), I am really missing the pace of Princeton classes and how intelligent my peers are.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
The only serious struggle I have encountered is dealing with much lower grades than I am used to. However, I love it here. I love the people I have met. I love the activities I do. I love how generous this university is. I love the town of Princeton. I love my dorm room.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
We have free printing, free laundry, free gym...free anything. We get sponsored to go abroad for anything. Our dorms are humungous (several visiting Harvard students got very jealous). I could go on forever...
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Don't let your senioritis carry over...mine did. Also I was never the grade grubbing type in high school - it was rigorous but I was smart enough to excel without caring too mucha bout my grades - but that is hurting me now.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Self-motivated, able to buckle down and focus like no other, but also let loose and have fun. Basically, anyone who is good at work hard play hard...I don't work as hard as I probably need to. Have initiative to pursue things. If you can do those two things, you will love it here.
