Princeton University

Princeton is undeniably the best undergraduate education in America. I loved it and love it. Thank you to the immensely talented and accessible faculty and thank you for being a place I could relate to on a personal level.

With only 2 more weeks until after I finish my freshman year, I want to share some insight about my college experience to any pre-frosh or perspectives. Princeton University (and any other college) is what you make it. Fortunately, administration and the students warmly accept creativity in any endeavor. At first glance, this campus may seem dead. On the contrary, there are many student groups that range in a variety of activities. That is the one thing I am most proud of Princeton: the opportunity to pursue your interests with amazing support from the University. This school has it cons: suburban surroundings, huge emphasis on eating clubs, etc. However, I strongly believe Princeton is many students' opportunity to not only develop academically, but creatively and socially. Competitiveness or professional graduate programs like other colleges do not hinder us. Princeton truly offers an liberal arts education.

The Princeton name alone has always been beneficial.
However, the environment teaches much. Among them - humility. Virtually all Princeton students were superstars in more than one area in high school - out of 22 in our group freshman year, there were two high school all-american athletes (one of whom was also a valedictorian), four other valedictorians, a kid who had over 1500 on his SAT's and kicked 55-yard field goals, and the list goes on and on.Academically, the school is fantastic, and you do get alot of attention from the faculty, even those with international reputations.
