Proximity to Princeton University has many benefits that we are able to take advantage of. There's also never a concern with diversity as you meet all sorts of people. However, administration has been a mess past few years and a lot of changes brought with the new administration faced many negative feedback from students. Our voices have no say despite surveys results showing overwhelming opposition.
