Attending Princeton University was an amazing experience for me. I came from a small, rural town and it was incredible to be thrust into an environment full of talented, passionate people. That said, attending a school such as Princeton can be quite overwhelming if you're used to being a big fish in a small pond. The town of Princeton is far from being a big city, and although the university is close to both Philadelphia and New York City, both are far enough away that few students visit either city that regularly.
