Princeton University

We checked out the town, and decided to tour around the school. Visitor parking is a bit tricky, as it is on the far end of campus. We hit around on the tennis courts for a bit — really nice tennis facility — before walking around the rest of campus. There are some fantastic gothic buildings here. We walked through the East Pyne building and courtyard, and went into the Chapel — which is really almost more of a cathedral. Since it is the Ivy League, and definitely not a party school, I wasn’t too surprised that everything was incredibly quiet here. Lovely campus, although I was disappointed to not get a chance to go inside the historic Nassau Hall.
While you are here, be sure to visit the Princeton Cemetery just north of campus — President Cleveland and Aaron Burr’s graves are here.

I would walk through Princeton the campus on my exercise route. I had to use the bathroom. Very nice
Students are nice.

My review is of the campus, not the actual academia. Every building has such amazing character. Even the newer building are stylized. Those buildings are found a short walk away from the main part of campus. The carvings, and attention to detail on the older buildings is amazing. It’s sad that that kind of artistry is only rarely applied in this day and age. All of the carved animals, people, and shapes are beautiful. A family member acted as our tour guide. How amazing that Nassau Hall, a building that was shot at by the British, while our congress was in session is still being used today. There is both an above and underground library. Make sure to check out the chapel. The vibrant colors of the stained glass windows really pop in the dimly lit space. There is a garden area that may be rented out for weddings. There are various free lectures that are open to the community during the year.

⁵⁄₅ would continue to attend, and not transfer to stanford because of the winters as I am wont to do recently
Best «dang» place of all
Sometimes, the amount of entitlement on campus gets to you; still not going to give it a bad rating though

Is this Hogwarts? Whenever I am on Campus at night, I expect a dementor to swoop in from above and crush my soul. (If I had one). But then I realize, those are only bats flying out of the coffers in the marvelous architecture.
Also, a few of the main buildings appear to be castles. There are even a couple of gargoyles on campus
Seriously folks, this is a gorgeous campus to visit even if you are not a serious intellectual. You can walk the hallowed halls and take in breathtaking views in a semi-​charmed kind of town. It is reminiscent of Georgetown in DC, minus the exorcist steps. Nonetheless, it is steeped in a rich history and is loaded with stories of hallowed halls and ghosts. There is even a local group that leads a ghost tour through the campus so you can get your spook on.
If you live in the area, it’s a quiet place to sit and read. The scenery is not boring and makes for a great running trail. Definitely stop by if you’re in the area! You will not be disappointed.
PS. Do not take any pictures of the ghosts. They will break your iPhone and cause you to spend 2 days at the Apple Store which is a #nightmare.

it’s like a park for well-​heeled intellectuals, or those who aspire to be a member of this caste, great to wander around in Spring.
whenever I feel the need to feel financially inadequate, I wander over to Princeton, and my bank account balance feels even tinier than it did before.
but perhaps with enough time spent breathing the rarified air of this campus once home to Albert Einstein, I will receive some sort of intellectual enrichment to compensate for my apparent need for «financial Viagra».
or I will just take a nap on the lawn amidst the ivy, while future hedge fund managers saunter by glancing at the slumbering proletarian in disgust.

The campus is so beautiful and peaceful. Everyone is going about their day. I had such a good time and everyone was so friendly. Definitely looking forward to visiting again in the summer. I visited in the winter and had such a good time :)

Beautiful campus. I go here some weekends to participate in student experiments at the PLESS lab. They are pretty interesting and the students are really friendly. I will have to continue exploring the area but walking around on the campus is really nice. Lots of great scenery here.
They also have a lab which conducts research studies on perception. It’s pretty cool, I did a fMRI study this past week and they give you images of your brain along with a 3D model. The images are pretty cool but I was equally creeped out as well as excited to see them. lol I really love science but how often does one see their own brain???
They also have salsa lessons on tuesdays, i’ve gone to one before. Really fun and very affordable.

Pleasant university to walk around.

Really? Rate the best? Uhhhhhhh The best. Great town, great place, nopthing further to be said

Such an absolutely beautiful campus. Wear good walking shoes and just park street side. It’s hard for me to find parking garages and you have to be careful of the students and tourists walking around on the streets. That human wildlife can just jump out at you.
Get up to Nassau street for some shopping and go down to the little town of Princeton. Lot’s of food establishments and a little outdoor eating area. There are plenty of little park statues and historical places to visit, take picks or just to sit and relax.
Here’s a factoid for you… I found out Einstein lived and died in Princeton.
Check the place out sometime.

Tiger Tiger Tiger!!!

I accompanied my cousin on his first college tour at Princeton and we both liked it a lot. The school has so much history everywhere you step. The tour had to be the most interesting tour I have ever been on. I recommend anyone that is smart enough to get into this school to go check it out. You might find yourself filling out an application after the tour.

This is the first university I am reviewing on Unilocal,and I have to preface this review to say that I am only basing this review on Princeton University’s aesthetic value. I am not and never have been a student there and have no experience there besides touring the campus with a few friends a couple of weeks ago.
That said, Princeton University is gorgeous! It’s the most beautiful campus I have ever visited. It’s very representative of East Coast charm. The dorms reminded me of Hogwarts (Harry Potter reference, for those of you who don’t know). I love the gothic architecture, through and through.
You can spend a very pleasant day walking through the university and then through the town of Princeton.

Wow Princeton is a beautiful campus! Was here this past weekend and toured around the campus for a bit. Loved how the entire campus literally felt so old school, like it was brimming with history. Most of the buildings seem consistent in architecture and design — you get a sense of uniformity though it varies a bit. It’s consistent without being identical. Cold weather aside, it’d be a great place for leisurely stroll or a photo shoot. Also caught a glimpse of cherry blossoms around campus, as well as squirrels!

Sexy little campus right along a quaint little Main street that hints at the heartland but reminds you of the prestige.

I was here this past weekend for a photo shoot and it’s easy to see why the photographer chose the campus as the location to shoot at. Not only is the campus famous for its Ivy League status, but the buildings have a history all their own.
Each building is uniquely different and has amazing architecture from sculptures to arches and courtyards, there’s something to see everywhere you walk.
The thing I love most is that people don’t interfere; they just walk on by or watch silently. The area in general is pretty nice with lots of little local shops and eateries.

Reviewing colleges, fun!
Princeton is a great place full of opportunities.
The campus is beautiful
the faculty is top-​notch and in my experience accessible,
the student services and groups are active
the students themselves are memorable
the school’s traditions are excellent
the alumni network is one of the best in the world.
there’s a wide variety of student experiences but for the best experience i would recommend that you find your direction and FOCUS!
time goes by quickly, there are so many people and things to get interested in. come to Princeton with a plan (but don’t lose your openness to change) and you will get the most out of the incredible resources to be found there.

oh… i don’t know that people review schools and colleges too.
i’m a student here. it’s a pretty decent school. but you know where to look if you are actually looking for college reviews. not on Unilocal :)

Not having been a student here and not knowing anyone who was I can’t give a true review of this school but what I can do (probably better than those who are always here and may take it for granted) is review the campus. Princeton is one of the most beautiful campuses I have ever seen in terms of its architecture and local community. The school boasts such a vast history and around every corner you’ll find one amazing building after another. When I came here to check the place out there was even a full wedding going on in the church on campus. The surrounding streets of town are also very very clean, wholesome, and diverse in the stores and shops that are around. Princeton is definitely a great all American place to check out and visit.
