__My Review of Princeton University__

__Getting In (grades and tests you need to get in, financial aid)__

Princeton University is the most competitive college I've ever seen, and it's acceptance rate proves it. Out of the yearly average of 21,370, only 2,137 get in. That's roughly 10%. And also Princeton meets about 85% of financial aid, which is very useful when it comes to the high tuition costs, which is about $34,290, and the cost for room and board, which is $11,405. The reason why it's so competitive is because it only accepts the best of the best, which explains why 98% of its students come from the top 10% of their high school class.

My Rating (out of 5 stars): 3 Reason: This school is highly competitive, because of its low acceptance rate, but even after that, I will always accept a challenge.

__Academics (majors that the school has, class size, access to professors, special programs, study abroad)__

The student/faculty rating for Princeton University is 6:1, which is not bad, but the class size is N/A. Princeton University has more than 40 majors. The 3 most popular majors at Princeton University are Economics, History, and Political Science. Their special options include studying abroad, teacher certification, and visiting/exchange student program. Their counseling and support services vary from personal counseling and employment services to career counseling and minority students services. Their academic support services are learning center, pre-admissions summer program, study skills assistance, tutoring, and writing center

My Rating (out of 5 stars): 4 Reason: The student faculty rating is too small for my taste, and I don't know anything about the class size, so I can't tell if the student/faculty ratio is a good thing or a bad thing, but I am interested in the writing center because I am a very good writer.

__Student Life (social life at the school, housing, fraternities and sororities, sports)__

When it comes to student life, look no further. Princeton University has no sororities or fraternities, but they make up for it by being Division 1 in sports. They have more than 20 different sports, including football. 98% live in on-campus housing, and some of their clubs include music ensembles, radio station, student newspaper, student government, symphony orchestra, and concert band.

__My comfort level (getting back and forth, demographics, setting)__

Princeton University is in a suburban setting, which is about 10,000-50,000 people. The time it takes to get from East Harlem to Princeton, NJ is about 1 hour and 23 minutes. The percentage of African-Americans in this school is 8%. The male/female ratio is about 50/50, and it is about 57 miles from East Harlem.

My Rating (out of 5 stars): 3 Reason: Princeton University is in a suburban setting, which is something I am not used to but doesn't matter, I am too far from my house which also doesn't matter, and there are a short amount of people in Princeton University who share my racial background, which also doesn't matter.
