I am of course speaking in hushed, reverential tones about the Institute for Advanced Study quietly doing their think tank thing at One Einstein Way. Founded in 1930 by renown educator Abe Flexner with an endowment from the retail scions of the Bamberger family, their initial goal was to spirit away Germany's best scientists from the Third Reich and more currently, to collect and place the finest minds in science, mathematics, humanities et al, in an isolated and immersive intellectual environment - giving these true masters of the universe a place to come ponder and ruminate about research they might like to pursue without the distraction of teaching class or the publish or perish burdens of mainstream academia. Albert Einstein was their first fellow and the list of "faculty" is no less luminous to the present day. The resulting list of groundbreaking insights and awards for scholarship is beyond impressive. As far as I can tell there are no tours but the building itself is as impressively foreboding as you would expect. For whatever reason I like knowing that it's here and with all due respect, helps to keep the community college rabble at Princeton University on their toes.

But seriously, enter the area, and you'll just feel smarter, or really really stupid. But let's get to the important part - the cafeteria. The lunch here was insane for a cafeteria style place. The pork chop I was given looked like it was made in a real restaurant. The variety was quite fantastic (sandwiches, soups, desserts, etc). I'm not sure about the price though, my boss paid. I would say it wasn't that much. At least I hope so. Hey, why don't you go, pay, and tell me how much it was. Gracias!

As someone who has both sung a fair amount of choral music and listened to even more, I have a well-trained ear and am very picky where vocal music is concerned. The star of tonight's performance was the Choir itself. Much of the credit goes to the Choir's director, Joe Miller, who made sure that the unisons, the fast-paced coloratura passages, the diction, the pitch, the dynamics and the balance were perfect. But a director can achieve ultimately only what his singers can produce. Clearly, the relationship between the choir members and their instructors at this fine school is very, very special. I've heard The Messiah several dozen times over the course of my life, often sung by world-famous choirs, and this was among the best performances I've had the pleasure to hear. During the standing ovation, the loudest cheering was not for the soprano or tenor soloist (both terrific) or for the superb New York Philharmonic. IT WAS FOR THE CHOIR. Hear Hear! What a calling card for an institution of higher musical learning!

A hub for student activity and late night stragglers, the Princeton student experience would not be the same without Frist. Late meal credits here for the first two years were incredibly clutch lol. Highly recommend the Sushi, Chipotle Bowls, or even something from the Asian station. The fried chicken sandwich, Mozzarella sticks, and french fries are also to die for. Seating can be limited during rush hours (especially during the school year around 7:30-9pm), and the bathrooms are located in the basement so that can be a pain. Other than that though, I'll be sorely missing Frist late meal gallery in the months to come after I leave the orange bubble. Long live late meal.

When accessibility is…read moreconsidered for students, as well as affordability for those on the dining plan, the options at Frist are quite honestly hard to beat. Although at first seeming like that of a typical food court, the food at Frist manages to always surpass your expectations. The Pizza slices are outrageous, clocking in at over a pound for a less than four dollar slice. The fries and burger from the grill are greasy and indulgent enough to satisfy the naughtiest of my cravings, and the carne asada from the burrito station quite literally knocked my socks off the first few bites. What must not be missed are the David's cookies, on display in a bright case for all to see. At the beginning of a busy night, hundreds of these cookies are piled in only to be soon devoured by hungry underclassmen. These cookies have single handedly defined my Princeton experience. By far the best commercially available chocolate chunk cookie I've even, some of my best nights and worst nights on campus have been accompanied by anywhere from 3-8 of these morsels of heaven. A bite of these cookies causes minor cookiegasm in the consumer, and is sure to remind any faint cookie connoisseur what true love is. As a rising upperclassmen who will lose the infamous "Late Meal" benefit of the dining plan, I will by far miss these cookies the most. Lastly, the workers are great. They're there to serve you food and make sure you keep a smile on my face. A few days ago, I decided to risk it for the biscuit and go for the Kathi Roll from the grill (forking DELICIOUS). The grill attendant picked one up from the tray and tossed it on the flame, only soon to diagnose it as too stale to serve. With the gusto of Curry shooting from three, he picked that jawn up with his tongs and yeeted it straight across the room without a second thought, leaving me baffled and amazed. Last night, the grill attendant deviously tried to bribe me for my 16 inch cheesesteak, what a sly guy!! Just today, the cashier went through her typical rounds of asking me how many cookies I was carrying out in the plain, brown, nondescript Frist cookie bag. Too embarrassed to share the real number I was harboring, I went with a casual five. With a grin on her face, she remarked "I don't care how many you got in there Sugar, do well on your exams." This attitude is precisely what makes Frist the haven it is. Quick, delicious, accessible, and affordable food for students who sometimes just need to indulge in something that they'll feel sitting in their stomach for hours to come. For better or for worse, much of my first two years at Princeton will be remembered by late nights at Frist winding down on the rickety wooden chairs with some good nomz to keep me going.

I can't seem to understand why people complain about this school as often as they do. I did my…read moreBachelor's and Master's here and I had a good experience. The school was definitely generous in terms of scholarships, which is why I came here in the first place. I always earned really great grades, so they allowed me to take some Master's courses as an undergraduate instead of taking (and wasting money on) "filler" classes just to meet credit requirements, which I really appreciated. The tuition did rise yearly, however if you kept your GPA high you could apply for a "mini scholarship" that covered those costs and acted as a tuition freeze, so if you stayed on top of things you had potential to not be impacted by the raise. For undergrads, they have a really nice honors program (BHP) that I enjoyed a lot. You take 7 honors courses taught by professors from "conflicting" fields (like a neuroscientist and a classical music expert) and they're very eye opening and conducive to creative thinking. People say it's a suitcase school, but that's only true if you pack your suitcase up and decide to leave for the weekends. I stayed on the weekends, and although I had to plan a bit at times, I had no shortage of things to do. The school organizes things (like they took me rock climbing, white water rafting, to different sports events) so as long as you actually check your email and reach out to other students, you can be a part of things. There's nature trails in the area, and it's also close to a kayak rental place. I enjoyed all the nature and landscape here. Besides the organized events, of course there's still house parties and basement parties and all of those stereotypical college things going on if you're interested in those. I'm not saying the school is perfect, but no school is. Sometimes Rider does do somethings that are a bit silly. (For example, a few weeks after I graduated, I received an email asking if I had a large boat I'd be willing to donate to the school for an event ... what kind of recent college graduate has a large boat sitting around?!) But, I just laughed it off. If you're the kind of person who lets little issues and things like tarnish whole experiences, will you be happy at any school? So, I give the school 5 stars because I'm satisfied with the education I received. I worked hard, played hard, and left with the skills I need to succeed as a clinician.

Don't know much about the schools education system- but I was there for four days staying on campus…read morefor DMA (Drum major academy) and the buildings we were staying in were awful. We stayed in Lincoln Hall and Wright Hall, personally I was in Wright. There were silverfish in my room, bugs in my windows some dead on the floor when I arrived. The screen was partly broken, the showers had mold in the shower heads, there were dead bugs in the showers. I don't know how often the communal bathrooms were cleaned on each floor (or even if janitors skipped it because of there being a camp having to reside in the building) but the showers were never cleaned during our stay, there was hair stuck in the drain and toilet paper all over the floor. (Again don't know how often that's done so if it wasn't supposed to be done then ignore that). The school has water refill stations on each floor and the one on my floor was broken :( so we had to go down to the boys floor to refill or go into the school. I will say this next thing is a bit of a personal preference issue but there were no elevators- so you had to lug all of your stuff up 3 flights of stairs- which isn't bad but imagine moving into a dorm and having loads of things to carry. It's not efficient and a pain but it's tolerable. In the Dining hall the bathrooms were covered with toilet paper so it didn't seem they were checked all that often. The staff was great though always considerate and wanted to make sure you had everything. Overall I wouldn't want to go there again or choose to go to college there if those are my living conditions.
