“When I was an undergraduate at Princeton, freshman year, first term, I ended up in the course on Plato's Republic. That book just captivated me - not because of the answers, and the answers can be somewhat unsatisfying, but because of the questions, the way you went at it, the methods, the kinds of questions you could ask, the different answers you could get. That's why I'm still fascinated by that book.”
William Scott

“My scientific interests throughout my undergraduate days were directed to cell biology and especially the mysteries of embryonic development.”

“Princeton is very strong at undergraduate education in every area, whether it's firsthand research with leading minds in the world or its groundbreaking financial award program. There is no concern that if students could pick their own categories, Princeton will drop in ranking.”
