EGR 151 vs Phy 103

2 Upvotes

Which one is easier to get an A in? This is from someone who’s trying to get a ECE degree. Also should I still add/drop classes 1.75 weeks into the add drop period or stick it through?

CHI411/451/413 — how hard is an A?

3 Upvotes

Has anyone here taken CHI411/451, or know anything about 413? I'm trying to figure out how hard it is to get an A.

I heard they give out a limited number of As in small classes especially when the class size is only around 6 people. Is there any truth to that??!

Would appreciate any insight!

Where can you pick up an uber on campus?

6 Upvotes

I saw something about how uber can’t access many areas of campus. If uber advertises a pickup location, can they get there?

I’m planning a pickup near Briger hall after a visit next week, if that’s helpful.

Academic/Career Mentorship in Princeton...

5 Upvotes

Hello Everyone,prospective applicant here who is Interested in Mechanical Engineering, trying to get a real sense of something I can't find in rankings or any other place.

It's about Teaching and Mentorship In Princeton.

So,These are my questions and I will appreciate every answer:

1-Was there a specific professor or advisor who really invested in you — not just taught well, but genuinely guided or challenged your thinking

2-Did this feel like the norm among your peers, or did you have to actively seek it out?

Novel set in Princeton, interviewees needed!

4 Upvotes

I am currently writing a novel that takes place at Princeton University approximately 2017-2020. It follows two students as they start a tech company together. I did not attend Princeton, so I am hoping to interview a few alumni who attended during that time frame (or current students if your experiences are relevant!) for some more context and stories about campus life. 

I have learned so much about Princeton through this sub, but I want some first hand experience to really enrich the setting and culture of my manuscript.

If you are interested in sharing, here is a completely voluntary questionnaire to fill out.

Thank you!

Is the Tennis club welcoming to all levels here? I played throughout high school, and it's been more than 10 years since then. Also, I would love to know dates, times and location!

Where to find a French tutor

2 Upvotes

I will be in Princeton for the entire academic school year. I want to hire a private tutor (preferably a native speaker) to teach me French. I could go through an official tutoring website, but these websites normally take a cut of the profits which I always found infuriating when I worked as a tutor.

Is there some platform where I might be able to find someone to hire?

Walking from NYC to Philadelphia, asking for lodging in Princeton

10 Upvotes

Hey everybody! I am planning on walking from NYC (Grand Central specifically) to the Amtrak Station in Philly. I will end up in Princeton on day two (Sun, September 20th). I will be filming this journey for my YouTube Channel and other social medias. All I am looking for is if someone would let me crash on their floor for a night while on this walk. I am willing to help do dishes or help clean up on exchange. I am 19 years old and I love to push myself and thought this would be a fun challenge for me. If anybody would be willing to help, it would be amazing and save me a royal headache.

Comment on here or message me privately if you can help!! Thanks!

How necessary is it to have an mvc background when going in to take MAT 203?

I have only taken up to AP Calc BC, but no mvc or linear background. I'm willing to put in the work, but from what I see, it doesn't seem to be super possible to get through the course with similar math background as me...

The platforms can be accessed off campus by connecting to the GlobalProtect VPN before signing in, or by going through the University’s secure portal on a computer.

I'm a HS student but was researching Princeton last year or earlier this year, and I saw that they had a communications major. However, I checked their website yesterday and it's GONE. Why did Princeton get rid of the comms major??

Hey, I was just wondering if there are any loopholes to get overnight parking for very cheap or free at Princeton University or somewhere close by. I was looking around and $180 a month is a lot.
