Princeton

[ThePresence]

I had to spend some time yesterday and today on the campus of princeton university. Beautiful campus. I believe that only asians attend this school.

swarthmore campus is pretty gorgeous as well. but the buildings at princeton are nicer looking.

Princeton is a nice area, wonderful campus environment. Almost like it doesn't belong in Jersey, certainly should be farther from Trenton. We have much nicer place for it up here in northwestern NJ.
It does have that old college feel, with the brick buildings and plenty of walking area. The key is the immediate surrounding area is rural. Although it is turning suburban.

I grew up just North of there.

Sussex County?

I was just in Princeton about 2 hours ago for an interview. Never been to the campus, but I hear it's beautiful.

 

[silverpig]

Isn't the Duke campus basically the same as Princeton's?

Princeton is more representative of NJ than Trenton is.

Same here (Plainsboro). When my relatives visit, besides taking them to NYC we would also take them to Princeton to look around.

most of my doctor's are based out of the University Hospital... nice area :thumbsup:

amazing cupcakes and ice cream at The Bent Spoon... probably my favorite of any cupcakes I've tried (with a disclaimer that I've never been to Magnolia... heard great things about it, but my ex works across the street, so I avoid the area like the plague)

hah no way! I grew up in Plainsboro also.

OP, did you have lunch at the Hoagie Heaven?

Sussex County?

Yeah, Sussex county is beautiful. Been there for the last 12 years.

You are correct. Would be nice if we could do something about Trenton, Camden and Newark.

I can also recommend The Bent Spoon. Delicious.

I lived close to Princeton for a year, beautiful area.

ironically, at The Cupcake House, just a few blocks away... pretty bad cupcakes. :thumbsdown:

And Rahway, and Patterson, and Hackensack, and Elizabeth, and... and...

Seems like all the big cities in NJ really suck, it's the little towns like Princeton that are awesome. I think the only city in NJ that I like is Hoboken (some parts of Jersey City are pretty good too).

OP, did you have lunch at the Hoagie Heaven?

Lol. "The" Hoagie Haven...drop the "the".

It's just Hoagie Haven...and Georges two doors down is better even though its owned by same people. Old World pizza also rocks right in between all that.

I wonder if most Ivies are composed of mostly Asians....

 

[uclaLabrat]

I wonder if most Ivies are composed of mostly Asians....

In my extremely limited experience, they're not even as bad as the UC's.

 

[Farmer]

I'd say most Ivies are 30% Asian. It's still mostly white.

I thought Yale was very nice also, but not as nice as Princeton.

 

[AznAnarchy99]

UC Irvine is horrible at about 80% Asians.

I cant imagine what that would even be like. I cant stand UCLA and their 45% Asian population with about 40% of them being anti-social, non english speaking, international students. Call me racist /rant

I wonder if the OP is getting a skewed sample since, you know, it's the middle of July.
